2. Learning Hours

Students need to be aware of their commitment requirements in regard to study time. In order
to give you an indication of that, we have based the following information on the United
Kingdom (UK) Higher Education Quality Assurance Agency guidelines. “The notional
learning hours associated with qualifications, programmes and individual units of study are
based on a broad agreement across institutions that students can expect to spend 10 hours
learning on average in order to gain one academic credit unit” (QAA 2006).

3. Re-sit

If you do not secure a pass, please read closely the feedback and speak with your Course
leader(s) or faculty. After consulting the feedback, close attention is essential to rework on

requirements, only one REDO is allowed where the marks will be capped at a Pass.

4. Plagiarism

All forms of plagiarism are taken seriously, and any suspected cases will be investigated
thoroughly. If a case is found proven then the work will be graded as a fail and the case will
be reviewed by the academic committee.

5. Student appeals

There are no re-evaluations as the marks are graded and internally verified before release.
However, as per our appeals policy, a student can make an appeal to the course leader which
will be then reviewed by the academic committee (please check our academic policies and
procedures manual for more information)
