Courses and programmes can begin at different times during the semester. Period 1 begins at the beginning of the semester, period 2 in the middle. The exact course dates can be found in the search results.

Pace is the period of time a course/programme will run in relation to its credits. Studying at a slower pace increases the time it takes to complete a degree.

Full-time pace means a 30 credit course will run for the entire semester (20 weeks), a 15 credit course for half the semester (10 weeks), and a 7.5 credit course for a quarter of the semester (5 weeks).

Courses with a pace of 50% take twice as long to complete as full-time (100%). A 30 credit course will run for two semesters (40 weeks), a 15 credit course for a full semester (20 weeks), and a 7.5 credit course for half a semester (10 weeks).
