Programme Details:

The credit hour is a unit of academic measurement to determine the weight of each course in one academic semester. The credit hour for any academic course represents 50 minutes of contact time:
- 1 theoretical hour = 1 actual hour
- 1 laboratory hour = 2 actual hours
- 1 practical hour = 3 actual hours
- 1 field hour = 4 actual hours
2- The academic year is divided into study semesters, each lasting 16 weeks, including the final examination period, it is divided into:
a. Autumn semester: starting in the second week of September.
b. Spring semester: starting in the second week of February.
c. A summer semester may be opened with a duration of 8 weeks, upon approval of the Graduate Studies Committee, with a maximum of 9 credit hours.
It is an optional semester, not mandatory, lasting between seven to eight weeks (7-8), with the weekly academic hours allocated to each course being doubled.
3- Nursing practical courses may not be registered in the summer semester.
4- The curriculum may be delivered through distance learning or hybrid learning, which integrates face-to-face learning with distance learning, utilising traditional, electronic methods, and various platforms.
