What's the difference between part-time and full-time study?

The difference between full-time and part-time study is based on the number of units you are enrolled in across a study period. If you are an international student, please see this article about study loads. One course at the University of Adelaide normally carries a weight of 3 units, however it's not uncommon to see courses worth 6, 9 or 12 units. A standard academic year is typically comprised of 24 units of study. To be considered a full-time student, you must be enrolled in at least 18 units across the academic calendar year. Any less than this will classify you as a part-time student.
Higher Degree by Research Students

A full-time work load for a higher degree by research student is around 40 hours per week. Higher degree by research students may enrol full-time or part-time, meaning that half-time enrolment is around 20 hours per week. Research students can take four weeks of annual leave per year.
