You can apply for both the part-time and full-time study but you have to make two on-line applications i.e. you need to pay the application fee twice. However, you only need to send one set of application documents to the University by stating that you have applied for both studies. If you are admitted, you will be asked, in late July, to opt for one study mode.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Part-Time is over two years and courses \/ lectures will be offered in the evenings and some Saturday mornings. Evening classes take place 7:00-10:00pm on campus. Each compulsory course is 6 credits with 36 teaching hours, while electives are either 3 or 6 credits with 18 or 36 teaching hours respectively, plus a group Capstone (12 credits) is required in the final year of study. Some electives are scheduled more intensively and offer an executive style of learning, and some include site visits with local organizations.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
