    Thanks a million. My main questions are:
    • Is the course hard to get into? How many places are available each year?
    • Approx how many hours of lectures, tutorials etc are there per week?
    • Are you marked on exams, assignments or a mixture of both?
    • Is the work experience required done in a block. e.g do you have several months of classes etc and then a block of 3 months work exp or do you split the week e.g 2 days in uni then 3 on work placement.

    I know, I'm applying next year but I was just interested in the timetable and roughly the amount of hours a day at lectures etc.

    I will need to arrange childcare, so kind of thinking way ahead of myself!

    Thanks,
    Lorraine. :-)

    Hi Fairyfeet. I'm almost finished the course and would be happy to answer your questions, preferably specific ones though cos it makes it easier than giving just a general overview..you can post here or PM if it's easier
