STUDYING BY DISTANCE EDUCATION At CSU we recognise the importance of flexibility with workplace study. Distance Education (DE) allows students who are partially qualified or working in isolated environments, to complete the course from their home or workplace with the requirement to attend compulsory Residential Schools in each subject. These Residential Schools take place on campus at various times throughout the calendar year. DE students in the Wine Science and Viticulture courses must have access to a fully developed vineyard and winery in order to complete the practical requirements of the course, and are also required to attend Residential Schools at the University that provide intensive teaching on the practical aspects of the course. Further study in Wine Science and Viticulture An Honoursyear is available after the successful completion of the Bachelor degree. The course allows the development of an advanced level of knowledge in the area of specialisation. It also develops verbal and written skills relevant to research and further studies. Students who wish to pursue a research career can undertake postgraduate studies by enrolling in a Doctor of Philosophydegree.
