Under Bologna
Credits, not hours
Study is measured in ECTS credits, which count the workload a student actually carries — lectures, laboratory, private study and assessment together — rather than the hours a teacher stands in a room.
What actually changes
Not the subjects taught. The way learning is measured, described and carried between institutions.
Under Bologna
Outcomes, not syllabi
A programme states what a graduate can do, and every module outcome maps to one of those statements. An outcome nothing assesses is not an outcome.
Under Bologna
Modules described in full
Every module carries a published description: outcomes, workload, teaching method and how it is assessed. It is written before the semester, not after it.
Under Bologna
A degree that travels
The Diploma Supplement describes the award in a form another country can read, so a graduate is not asked to explain their own transcript abroad.
The numbers it settles
- 25hours of student workload per ECTS credit, as adopted in Iraq
- 30ECTS credits in one semester
- 240ECTS credits in a four-year bachelor degree
- 65 / 20 / 15weighting of the academic performance indicator: student feedback, head of department, teaching portfolio
Where the university stands
Departments are moving across in stages, so three study systems run at once. The curriculum page shows exactly who is where.
