Last Year's Certificate in Science Timetable?

    Does anyone have a copy of the timetable from last year's Certificate in Science course? I know this year's will likely be different, but after handing in my notice at work I received a surprise offer to stay on in a limited capacity, and I'm wondering if there's usually one day a week that finishes a little earlier than the rest that I can arrange to come in that evening.

    I was told during my interview that they prefer students on this course not work, but that isn't in any way an option for me. Coming from full-time employment, I'm not entitled to student allowance or anything else. If I want to eat and keep a roof over my head, I have to work. I'm hoping the one evening and a Saturday per week will be enough, and will still allow me the time I need to study. The search for alternate employment hasn't been going well, and I need to make this work out.

    Fridays were usually quite empty. First semester, I was always able to make my 3 o'clock bus, so I was clearly done before that.

    As for second semester, Fridays were completely off, as were Mondays (only for half the semester).

    I reckon you can find a day or two when you can work the evenings. I know some others managed it.

    Good luck and I hope you enjoy the course!
