    Main degree subjects* [URL="javascript:toolTipPopup('educationcontroller.help.mainsubject')"](?)[/URL] Time spent/credits

    I am currently applying for my Teacher Training in the UK through the GTTR website.

    When you enter you degree you are asked for

    Min Degree Subjects and Time Spent/Credits

    I did civikl engineering and completed about 40 subjects, and have no idea of time spent or credits. Is this an British thing?

    I study with the OU, and I have modules and they are worth a certain amount of points or "credits". For instance, MST121 Using Mathematics is 30 points, so I put this course down and the amount of credits attached to it. Maybe it is a UK thing, but I think in our universities the courses taken as part of the degree are worth credits. They probably just don't really mention it. Phone up your university and find out is the best answer.

    It's not a British thing - it's European. Irish universities also use the credit system.

    On average, one full year of university is 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits. The minimum for a degree is 180 credits ie 3 years.

    Just to note that the Open University uses a different system - with CATS (Credit Accumulation Transfer Scheme) credits. It takes 2 CATS credits to make 1 ECTS credit, so the minimum for a degree from the OU is 360 credits.
