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-requisites, co-requisites and timetabling requirements. Candidates can each year choose to study less units than the full-time pattern or more units that the part-time pattern, but if doing so should use these standard patterns as guides as to how best ot 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.
