What are credit points and how do they work?
Credit points are a basic measure of workload. A normal fulltime 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, fulltime students usually enrol in 24 credit points each session, parttime 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, eg 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.
