Most Universities and other Higher Education Institutions in the UK now assign credit values to t heir programme of study, and to individual modules or units within those programmes. It is proposed that the three Distance Learning GIS modules will be accredited during the next year. These credits can be backdated, so there is no need to postpone your enrolment at this time. The course content is monitored and evaluated by GIS academics within Kingston University. The process of credit rating effectively gives a recognised value to learning programmes which meet appropriate quality assurance criteria.
Many learners are interested in counting their learning towards a degree or other qualification.
The credit rating effectively provides an endorsement of the quality, amount and level of the learning. It is intended that the Distance Learning GIS modules from Kingston University be credited at Level 1 with approximately 15 credit points per module. This is, of course, also subject to academic and personal references. If you are interested in any of these courses, please contact Dr M Morad , the course director.
