Therefore a full time student (taking two courses per term) can expect to attend two, four hour sessions each week. How much time do I need to spend studying each term? As a general indication, for all level 8 (15 credit) courses, you can expect 30 hours of teaching in a classroom environment, face to face or online. 120 self-directed learning (averaging 15 hours per week) working through course material and assignments in your own time. Choosing your electives We pride ourselves in the applied nature of our business programmes, with team work and peer learning a key part of embedding the transferable skills you will learn with us. In order to offer our students the best experience in their study, we occasionally need to consolidate some of our elective courses to ensure we have a suitable number of students in a class together. This may result in some of our elective courses being offered more sporadically, and students aiming to complete programmes in a short time frame needing to choose from a tighter range of elective courses and therefore majors. We encourage you to talk to us early about the electives you aim to take, so we can work with you to develop a learning plan.
