Unfortunately, you are not able to select a morning or afternoon format to suit your personal circumstances. We encourage you to take up part-time employment outside of class time, weekends and in the evenings, but you must prioritise your studies and we urge you not to commit to work schedules until after you have received your timetable and academic calendar.
