Non-award & Audit Study

It is possible to study individual subjects (courses) at the University of Adelaide for personal interest or professional development, outside of the requirements of a university award. Most undergraduate courses offered by the university are available to be undertaken as non-award study.

Non-award students undertake the same studies and assessment as award students, i.e. students who are undertaking the course through a university award, such as a bachelor degree. Applications for entry to non-award study are assessed by the relevant faculty or school. Non-award study involves the payment of up-front fees.

Further information on non-award study is available here

In addition to non-award study, most faculties in the university offer a selection of their courses to students who wish to attend lectures but not undertake formal assessment or examination. Such study is generally referred to as audit study. Fees may apply.

Further information on audit study is available through the relevant faculty.

The Discipline of Geology and Geophysics teaches about and undertakes research into our planet, earth. We investigate the earth, from its surface, through its crust and to its deep mantle using outcropping rocks, boreholes and geophysical remote sensing. From cataclysmic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to imperceptibly slow surface weathering, we investigate the processes that have shaped our planet, its resources endowment and its environment throughout its 4.5 billion year history.
