Absolutely no on-campus requirements at all, no residential weeks or weekends, it is purely online and for the most part the lecturers are able to construct a fantastic online learning environment with recorded lectures, online real-time 'WIMBA' tutorials, and if you live more than 50km (I think 50km) from a campus, you arrange all your own placements so that they are conveniant and local to you. I chose USQ for all of those reasons, knowing I would be able to complete the study at home when and how I study best, and complete placements without having to travel or live away from home for the placement.

First placement, in a full-time study load, is usually first year first semester. But if you are doing it part time there is no reason you can't rearrange it to do the placement in second year. You just have to be mindful when you arrange your study timetable of when courses are offered. Some are offered 1st, 2nd and 3rd semester, some in two semesters, and some in only one semester, and if you time it wrong you could end up being like me and taking two years to complete 4 subjects because they are pre-reqs of each other, only offered at certain times, and you have to do them in order and not all in one or two semesters :-S Very frustrating!
