Back to Program of Study - Overview
Suggested Full Time Course Plan
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 = 48 cps per year or 24 cps per semester. This equates to a workload of approximately 40-48 hours per week.

Units in which to enrol each year will vary depending on availability. As a guide candidates should follow the sequence of units as suggested for full-time candidates at their own pace, taking into account the maximum period of candidature permitted for a Part-time student should they not enrol in the suggested pattern of 12 credit points per semester. | ||
