The University rates courses in Units of Credit (UOC), where one UOC = 25-30 hours of work. All Drug Development modules (courses) are rated at six UOCs i.e. involve a total of 150-200 hours of work including all reading, assignments, tutorials, preparation work and examinations. Since students differ greatly in background, the amount of work will vary greatly between individuals, and, for particular students, it will vary between modules. On average, students should spend about 15 hours per week during each 9 week block, there are 2 blocks per semester.
