Degree programmes are studied over three years full time. The academic year consists of two semesters, with 12 weeks of teaching followed by assessment periods.
At each Stage, modules to a total credit value of 120 are studied. The distribution of these 120 credits between the semesters may be 60:60, 50:70 or 70:50.
A 10-credit module consists of 100 hours of student effort composed of attendance at lectures, seminars and small group tutorials, practical sessions, private study and revision and the completion of coursework. Modules are usually 10 or 20 credits with most 10-credit modules being completed in a semester, while most 20 credit modules continue over both semesters.
