How much time do you need to commit to your studies? HTML We expect that part-time students will study for approximately 12-15 hours a week on each option or core course. This time will be spent reading, writing and attending seminars. This may vary week by week depending on the assessment. Writing the final course essays is a key element of your studies and you are likely to spend more time working on this task towards the end of each course. You can be very flexible as to when and where you study. Many of our students work full-time and fit the study hours around their working pattern. All core resources are available online and all you need to study is a computer with an internet connection. The technology in Collaborate, with the option to text chat, means that if you find yourself in an area with slow connection, or somewhere where you cannot talk, then you can still contribute towards the discussion. Due to the University's Attendance and Engagement regulations students are required to engage with any course they are registered on at least once in any week during semester time. This may take the form of posting on a discussion forum, taking part in a live seminar or emailing the course organiser. This article was published on 2024-08-01
