Studying more than 1 cluster per intake

Post by Jess95 » Mon Jan 23, 2017 5:21 pm

Hello.

I have recently enrolled to study my diploma and I will start this intake. But I am just wondering what the workload is actually like? Whether its possible to do more than one cluster per intake?

Keeping in mind I am used to full time university study, with 4 assignments per course a semester (studying 4 courses) with assignments very research heavy, around 5000 words. How does TAFE diploma study compare to this? Would I be able to handle 2 clusters at a time? I have never studied at TAFE before so I am unsure what to expect in the way of assignments etc.

Thank you in advance :D

Since you are already studying I would probably suggest you start off with one cluster and see how that goes and if you can manage it then move onto 2. With the Diploma, some assignments are quite straight forward yet others, require time to research (not as intense as uni though).

Thanks Lorina, I am no longer at uni though. It wasn't the right career for me :)
