How many hours do I need to be at university?

Last Modified: 12/Jul/2024

As a full-time student you can expect to be at university, either in classes on campus or in virtual classes, between 12-18 hours a week. You will need to allocate another 14-22 hours a week to independent study through readings, homework tasks, research and assignment preparation.
