I don’t think you understand how the system works. Unless you are admitted to a given course you won’t get supervisions/tutorials in that course. Sure you can go to the lectures, but those are large and non-interactive. Lecturers don’t set work, the supervisor/tutor does. So you could listen, but would you learn much more than by reading a book?

And none of this addresses the issue of getting admitted in the first place. You have to convince the interviewer that you love your subject more than anything else in the world, and want to (and already do) spend all your time on that.
