A part-time workload comprises less than 37.5 points per semester. Reducing your workload over one or more semesters may effectively extend the time it takes to complete your course.

The Learning Skills Unit can provide advice about time management and assist you to prepare a study timetable in which your personal commitments are balanced with the time you spend on your studies. That way, examiners can take into account your situation when determining your result.
