Credit Accumulation 
​
​The credit level is an indicator of the relative complexity and/or depth of learning.  Credit is awarded once you have successfully completed a course unit. The credit value of the unit considers the amount and depth of learning which you achieved. The diagram above shows an example of the credit structure for a bachelor's degree with honours. Using credit, this would be expressed as a total of 360 credits, with 120 credits at level 6.  
​
 A number of credits are normally assigned to each course unit, which indicates the amount of learning undertaken, and a specified credit level indicates the relative depth of learning involved. Together, these are known as the credit value. As you progress through the program you will start to gather credit for course units that you successfully complete. This is called credit accumulation.  
 Credits are then accumulated towards the total credit required for a program of study/qualification (for example, a minimum of 240 credits is required at levels 4&5 to top-up the BA (Hons); and a minimum of 120 credits at level 7 to advance to the Master's degree top-up, and so on).
