Credits
A credit is a quantified means of expressing the volume of learning based on the achievement of learning outcomes and their associated workloads.
(Bologna Follow-Up Group, Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area, 2005, p. 29)
Credits in Flanders are based on the ECTS-principles. 60 credits constitute one full year full-time programme. One credit equals at least 25 hours and at most 30 hours of education, study and evaluation activities.
Cycle
Cycle refers to the three sequential levels identified by the Bologna Process (first cycle, second cycle and third cycle) within which all European higher education qualifications are located.
