Credit HoursA Credit Hour for every semester week (CH) is equivalent to one hour of theoretical study (50 minutes), not less than two hours of practical or applied work (50 minutes each) and not less than one hour of individual effort, or three hours of practical or applied work. The CH determines the course load a student is allowed to register for in each semester.Educational LoadThe student is allowed to register for a total of semester CHs depending mainly upon his abilities and examination results. The educational load is usually between 12CHs (low load) and 18CHs (full load). Students with low grades in the Secondary Certificate or those who face problems in their study are advised to take the low load CHs in order to help them overcome their educational problems.
