Modules are assigned credits that are whole number multiples of 5. One credit is equivalent to 20-25 hours of work. For example a year’s work of 60 credits is equivalent to 1200 to 1500 hours or 40 to 50 hours of work per week for two 15 week semesters (12 weeks of teaching, 3 weeks study and formal examinations). |
