Credit Accumulation and Transfer SchemeCredit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) is used by many universities in the United Kingdom to monitor, record and reward passage through a modular degree course and to facilitate movement between courses and institutions. One UK credit is equivalent to the learning outcomes of 10 notional hours of study, thus a university course of 150 notional study hours is worth 15 credits, and a university course of 300 notional study hours is worth 30 credits.
Undergraduate degreeAn undergraduate degree (also called first degree or simply degree) is a colloquial term for an academic degree earned by a person who has completed undergraduate courses. In the United States, it is usually offered at an institution of higher education, such as a college or university. The most common type of these undergraduate degrees are associate degree and bachelor's degree. Bachelor's degree typically takes at least three or four years to complete.
DiplômeLe diplôme (du grec ancien : , « tablette ou papier plié en deux ») est un acte écrit émanant généralement d'une autorité souveraine ou d'un organisme officiel, conférant ou attestant d'un droit (patente, bulle), d'un titre (nobiliaire, professionnel), d'un honneur (décoration, prix) ou d'un grade universitaire. Le terme parchemin est vieilli.
