There are multiple programme durations:

• Standard: three academic year programme of full-time study and up to six years part-time.
• Non-standard: two academic year accelerated programme of full-time study with placement year, and up to four years part-time.

The pattern of full-time delivery varies depending on programme duration:

• Standard three year: Three terms per academic year. Full-time students will study 40-credits worth of modules per academic term. Within a term, the modules run in parallel with each other.
• Non-standard accelerated two year programme with placement: Three terms per academic year. Full-time students will study 60-credits worth of modules per academic term. Within a term, the modules run in parallel with each other.

Part-time study allows maximum flexibility for students to suit their workload and family commitments. Students will typically study half the credits of a full-time study equivalent (60 credits per year).
