Full time studies is 7.5 credits per period. This means that if a course of 7.5 credits runs over two periods, it is taught at 50% of full time studies. You then need to combine it with another 50% course which runs the same periods. It might also be possible to combine it with a 7.5 course that runs full time over one period (depending on the schedule of both courses).

If a course is 15 credits and runs over two periods, the workload is full time studies. It cannot be combined with any other courses.

NOTE!

The school where exchange students do their teaching placement requires a Police Clearance Extract (official document) containing an extract from the police record. The student will be asked to submit this document at the school.
