    Within 4 years of your first enrolment

Workload

The study workload for each course is approximately 10 - 13 hours per week. Courses have a 20-week enrolment period, which includes 16 weeks for learning and assessments, and four additional weeks if more time is needed.

 

Enrolment options

You can enrol into one, two, three or all four courses at a time.

If you want to enrol in more than one course at a time or stagger your courses' start dates you may have overlapping enrolment periods and competing assessment due dates so you will need to manage your study more closely.

If you enrol in all four courses at once:

  • We will give you a study plan to help you work through each course in the recommended order and manage your workload. (See NZ2454 study plan)
  • This will be a workload of around 40 hours study a week, and may be higher when assessments are due.

If you want help to plan your study or to explore if full or part-time study is best for you, contact us to talk to a Student Advisor.
