When studying online you’ll have the flexibility to study on a schedule that works for you. While most of our students aim to complete the course within 4 to 8 years, you’ll have the option to extend the time in takes to complete the course if you need to.
Studying full-time, through our blended learning option, means you have 4 years to complete the course.
