Study Hours
This is a full-time course so you will undertake both Guided Learning and Independent Study.
- Guided Learning may take the form of lectures, seminars, workshops, field trips and visits, or 1-to-1 supervision/tutorial.
- Independent Study will take place in your own time, either on or off campus, and will be used for reading, research, and the completion of coursework.
Studies per module
In each academic year, for each module, you will receive approximately*:
- HND (per module) – 60 hours Guided Learning, supported by 90 hours of Independent Study per module
Modules may take place in a semesterised design or a linear fashion:
- Semesterised design means they will run September until December (15 weeks), or January to May (15 weeks)
- Linear fashion means they will run the full year (30 weeks).
On rare occasions modules may have a different weighting of credits, duration through the year, or both.
*Based on a 15-credit weighting. Please refer to module specifications for variations in this weighting.
Weekly study
Each week you will normally study for approximately:
- HND (per week) – 16 hours of Guided Learning per week, up to 2 hours of tutorial (based on group size), and 24 hours per week of Independent Study
