Volume of Learning
The volume of learning in each Module is described in terms of Credits.
According to the SLQF credit system, the student workload of a study programme is defined as 1700 notional learning hours per academic year.
The notional learning hours include direct contact hours with teachers and trainers, time spent in self-learning, preparation for assignments, carrying out assignments and assessments. The need to undertake any or all of these will be considered when a credit is being allocated to a course unit or a module, when the syllabus is designed.
