Studying full time or keeping your job
The same level is reached through two weekly regimes. One fills your days and moves you forward in a tight cohort. The other fits around a job, with live sessions placed outside office hours. Here are both, figures in hand.
The weekly regime decides everything else
Pace is not a scheduling detail: it drives duration, the make-up of the cohort and how group work happens. Full time, the cohort moves as one and days run from class to lab to project. Part time, the week is built around your job: live sessions sit in the evening and on Saturday, assignments are handed in through the month, and your own role becomes the testing ground for the cases studied.

How to choose yours
- Your days are free and you want to move fast: full time is your regime
- You hold a job you intend to keep: part time is designed for exactly that
- You want a cohort present every day: full time brings it together
- You want to apply each week what you have just learnt: part time allows it
- Compare the weekly workload line with what your week genuinely frees up
The questions we get asked
Does the credential change with the pace?
No. The credential depends on the level and the blocks validated, never on the weekly regime. The table shows the same register line for both.
Are live sessions recorded?
Yes, and they stay available for the whole programme. Group work, however, happens at the slots published in the cohort calendar.
Can you switch from one pace to the other?
A change is requested between two academic years and arranged with the cohort adviser: credits already earned follow the student.
