Suggested Full Time Course Plans
The following are standard patterns of enrolment or pathways for candidates studying on a full-time or part-time basis. They take into account unit pre-requisite, co-requisite and timetabling requirements. Candidates can each year choose to study less units than the full-time pattern or more units than the part-time pattern, but if doing so should use these standard patterns as guides as to how best to structure their studies.
Enrolment pattern for candidates studying on a Full-time basis of 48 credit points per year, 24 credit points per semester
