Students are required to study 4 subjects per trimester at Holmes Australia. This applies to most courses. Exceptions are granted for special circumstances like medical conditions.
Students have the freedom to study any unit they want. However, during the 1st year, students study foundation units as these provide a platform to progress later in the course.

Holmes Institute degrees are generally recognised internationally. However, their recognition in India is questionable. The institute's degrees are not known to be recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).
This means, students will ideally have to look for a career outside India, if an Holmes institute degree is all they have.

Yes, Indian students need to attend at least 80% of their classes in a term at Holmes Institute. If attendance falls below this, the student may get reported to the Department of Home Affairs for breach of visa conditions by the principal/campus admin.
