1.0 Introduction

1.1 Remarks This Module Handbook is intended as an annotated course catalogue and as a

reference document for the accreditation authorities. Information regarding content

and organisation of the modules is based on that provided by the lecturers. Please

note that this information is subject to alteration.

1.2 Modules Modulisation is the grouping of subject areas into self-contained, testable units which

are well-rounded both thematically and time-wise and allocated a particular number

of credit points. Modules can contain a combination of various teaching and learning

methods and cover content from a single semester or an academic year. Once all

the examination requirements for a particular module have been fulfilled, the

relevant credit points will be added to the student’s academic record and a grade for

the module will be awarded.

1.3 Credit points The credit points are awarded in accordance with the standard ECTS (European

Credit Transfer System). 60 points should be earned per year of study. The credit

point system facilitates the recording of the student’s combined overall

achievements and the crediting of points from other courses or schools.

1.4 Workload Each course is allocated credits according to the workload involved. One credit

corresponds to a workload of 30 study hours which can include lectures,

preparation, revision and exam preparation. The scope of each course and the

relevant credits for the individual courses are laid out in the module description. On

successful completion of a module, as many credit points will be awarded as credits

have been designated for that module.
