Every Univeristy program expresses the structure of most of its taught programmes in terms of credits. Each programme unit has a tariff of credit points to indicate the volume of learning; credit points represents the hours of student effort spent on learning activities, including all forms of study, preparation of assignments, revision and assessment. BBAs/BA(Hons)/BSc(Hons) in UK Universities are normally structured with 360 credits. Credits are awarded to students who successfully complete a programme unit, by attending as required and satisfying the criteria for assessment.
