Workload

As a guide, for each 30-point course you take at the University, you should allocate around 10 hours per point for self-directed study, research, assessments and attendance at lectures and workshops.

If you’re studying full-time, you can expect a workload of 40 hours of study time a week for much of the year. Part-time students doing one course per trimester will need to allocate approximately 20 hours of study a week. Make sure you take this into account if you are working full-time.
