Your study schedule will be arranged with you at the start of your course. If you are studying a qualification which has an examination timetable, your schedule will be linked to this.
For most courses, your schedule will be agreed with you, but will always be flexible, and can be adjusted to suit any changes in your circumstances. You can study at times convenient to you. Your study pattern can change when you want it to - for example, weekends one week and evenings the next.
You study at your own pace - fast or slow - or you can take time out when you have other priorities in your home or work life. Some courses are linked to examination timetables - if you are studying a course with examinations, please ask the advice of your personal tutor, before changing your schedule.
