Question
What are credit points and how do they work?
Answer
Credit points are a basic measure of workload. A normal
full-time annual workload is 48 credit points, all subjects
are given a credit point value. The academic year is
divided into two main sessions - Autumn and Spring;
full-time students usually enrol in 24 credit points
each session; part time students usually enrol in 12
credit points each session or less.
Subjects are allocated an identification label; the
first indicates the level of the subject, e.g. ACCY100
is a 100 level or first year subject, MARK217 is a 200
level or second year subject and ECON348 is a 300 level
or third year subject.
