We encourage you to find a way of learning that suits you.
Most students have one lecture or seminar per week per unit,
lasting from 1-3 hours, and each unit usually has a tutorial
for 1-2 hours. It will be up to you to develop a timetable that
balances your requirements, however, our staff are always
available to provide assistance. You can gain advice on how to
develop your study skills and meet the demands of assessments,
plus our Learning Advisers also conduct workshops and see
students one-on-one and in-group consultations.
