The workload includes the time required to complete all the planned learning activities, within an academic curriculum, such as attending lectures, seminars, independent study, homework preparation, internships, exams, preparation of the dissertation.
The workload for each full-time student during an academic year is estimated at sixty (60) credits and thirty (30) credits per semester.
