To do this we have multiplied reported creditpoints by 20 for any student reporting credit points of six or less. There were 124 students who reported six orfewer credit points. We have also set the number of credit points to be 120, where the reported credit pointswas 20 or less, but the level of fees charged was greater than £720. This applied to 14 students. A further 25students reported credit points of more than 120, which indicates an intensity of study that was greater than 100per cent of full-time study.Part-time students and part-time study: Strand 3 Universities UK 26
