TUITION AND STUDY TIME
The amount of tuition time shown against each subject is the estimated face-to-face or class contact hours. The amount of private study time depends on the ability of individual students. As a guide line, it should be at least equal to the number of tuition hours. Those studying by distance learning should allow three times the class contact hours.
