I did a BEd at Griifith Uni in Brisvegas (finished in 2001, so a long time ago now), but my experience:

Full time uni was 12 contact hours a week - 3 hrs per subject. You were supposed to put in another 2 hrs at home 'studying' for every hour spent at uni - thus the full time thing. We had prac from second semester - two week blocks each semester plus one day a week until final year, which was four weeks. I also did a 6 week internship to finish. I found the 12 hours per week was 'conveniently' spread over 3-4 days per week, with a typical day being a 2 hour lecture, a 2 hour break then a 1 hour tutorial.
