This tool helps you calculate the amount of time you spend on different activities during a typical week and offers advice on how much study you could realistically undertake in your free time. The results are a guide only.
Ka Pai
You clearly lead a busy life and you’re short on free time. You might need to rethink your plans or reduce some of your existing commitments. Discuss ways of freeing up time with your family. Keep in mind you’ll have busy periods around assignments, tests and exams. Some weeks will be busier than others. While most courses are designed to require a minimum number of hours to complete, the actual time you need will vary. If you manage to find some more free time, then we strongly encourage you talk with our student advisors and check the course requirements for the particular programme of study before going any further.
