At AS level, each session for each component requires about 4 hours study and preparation time and there are 20 sessions per module. The total study time for the each component is therefore about 80 hours.

The total study time for a whole AS course (two components) is about 160 hours.

We advise students preparing for an AS course in one academic year to study for about 8 hours per week for 20 weeks and allow for revision time.
