STUDY PATTERNS

The normal study pattern for this program is on a full-time basis. At the start of the program, you will be provided with an outline study calendar for the year and a timetable. At appropriate times you will be provided with a detailed breakdown of each of the program modules. To get the most from the course it is important that you use this information to plan your year for both the academic and recreational periods. There are many options for you to study that are designed to be flexible to fit around your job:

  • Full-Time Morning Study (8:00 am- 4:00 pm): Study for 12 contact morning hours per week.

  • PART-TIME:

​Part-Time completion of years 1-3 of the full-time program may be achieved by a variety of routes.

SKIPPING COURSES

If a student wants to skip any of the Foundation Courses (English Language, IT, Science, and Mathematics) and directly register in the HE, they will be required to pass the Challenge Test. This test guarantees that the student holds the standard requirements skills and knowledge in order to be able to proceed to the Post-Foundation studies and is an equivalence of the Foundation Learning Outcomes. The Challenge test aims to be strict while upholding the truthfulness of the curriculum and maintaining the standards of the quality of the program offered. It is not administered to improve the marks of any course or component. It is also not meant to replace the learning practice indicative of a classroom setting.
