PART-TIME STUDENTS

The part-time course is half the workload of the full-time course, taking six years to complete rather than three. The course is flexible so you can switch to full-time study at Levels 2 or 3 if you wish.

Before the course begins, you meet with a tutor to discuss your time commitments. The course leaders then try to let you know the timetable of lectures and seminar groups as soon as possible. On average, part-time students need to allow ten hours a week to attend lectures and seminars, and a further ten to 15 hours for independent study, but this does vary.
