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.

For candidates studying Full-Time = 48cps per year or 24cps per semester
