Suggested Full Time Course Plan
The following is a standard pattern of enrolment or pathway for candidates studying on a full-time basis. It takes into account unit pre-requisite, co-requisite and timetabling requirements. Candidates can choose to study less units than the full-time pattern. Part-time candidates should use this as a guide as to how best to structure their studies.
For candidates studying Full-Time = 48cps per year or 24cps per semester
| Year | Notes | Semester 1 | Semester 2 |
