With the exception of the Postgraduate Certificate options (Newman University) and the MA, which are only available in the part-time mode of study, all other programmes are available in both full-time and part-time modes of study.

Within Higher Education, each credit is considered equivalent to 10 hours of study. Therefore a 10 credit module involves 100 hours of study (made up, for example of: 15 hours of lectures, 30 hours of guided reading and 60 hours of independent study, preparation and work on assignments).
