Credit load

Normal credit load per year and range available (by agreement with College):

• Full time: normal credit load per year is 120 credits; the range available per year is 100-140 credits
• Part time: normal credit load per year is 60 credits; the range available per year is 40-80 credits
• There are limits to how much you can audit based on your credit load for the year.  See the Programme Information page for details.

Please note

Option modules are offered subject to viability (based on class size) and the College reserves the right to withdraw an option module if there is insufficient interest; not all option modules are offered every year. 

Part time: if you wish to study Hebrew as one of your option modules in your CertHE year, please note that the constraints of the part time pathways are such that you will automatically have to over-credit by 10 credits.  To avoid this, you may wish to defer your study of Hebrew to your DipHE year (ie Year 3 of 4 or Year 3 of 6 depending on your programme).
