Explanation – Four study periods takes 32 weeks, but potentially spanning the mid-year or end-of-year breaks can add a further four weeks to the expected time to complete.

Maximum time to complete

2 years

Explanation – "part-time" modality for carousel offerings is expected to be at 2/3 of the full-time rate rather than 1/2 (study 16 weeks, 8 weeks off) as this results in 6 credit points per Teaching Period.  36 weeks x 1.5 + 1 year Leave of Absence = 106 weeks.  In Carousel model a leave of absence cannot be a full year if the student wishes to come back into the next subject.
