What's the difference between the 15 credit and 30 credit modules?
As in any module in the University, the amount of work and self-study you are required to do is much greater for 30 credit modules than it is for 15 credit modules.
Please note that:
- Contact hours vary according to credits (see section How many contact hours will I have?)
- The assessment varies, with 30 credit modules at Advanced having assessed tasks.
- Depending on the demand for the language/module you choose, you may be studying in a class with both 15 and 30 credit students together for ‘core' hours
We strongly recommend that students opt for the 30 credit option wherever possible, as this is the best way of making the most progress in the language you have chosen.
