Arts – Undergraduate University College Dublin National University of Ireland, Dublin Arts, Philosophy, Celtic Studies (Undergraduate Day Courses) Session 2002/2003 1 University College Dublin Information For Exchange Students Re. Units And Credits Throughout this booklet, undergraduate Arts courses, except in first year, are given or deemed to have a unit value. A one-unit course consists of one lecture/tutorial per week for a twelve-week period or represents an equivalent proportion of the year’s work. Courses of two or three units are pro rata. Normally a student would take courses to the value of twenty-four units in a full year. In addition, University College Dublin has adopted a system of credits, awarded for work successfully completed. In line with the European Course Credit Transfer System (ECTS), a full year’s work successfully completed will be allotted 60 credits. Exchange students and others involved in ECTS transfer of courses should note that to determine the number of credits which will be allotted to a successfully completed day Arts course, the Arts Faculty unit value should be multiplied by 2.5. Thus: A one-unit course, successfully completed, will be awarded 2.5 credits; a two-unit course, successfully completed, will be awarded 5 credits; a three-unit course, successfully completed, will be awarded 7.5 credits; and twenty-four units, successfully completed, will be awarded 60 credits. N.B. Enquiries on the award of credits should be addressed to the Registrar, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4. 2 Arts – Undergraduate Contents Information For Exchange Students Re.
