Each unit is assigned a number of credits that represent the workload involved (incl. attendance at class, study at home, practical assignments, tutorials and internships). A credit is the standard used within the European Credits Transfer System (ECTS). This international system was set up to facilitate student mobility within the European Higher Education Area. ACADEMIC YEAR Programmes are divided into academic years (or “blocks”) of 60 credits. In block 1 of the Bachelor’s programme, the curriculum is set for all students. Thereafter, the programme is based on the accumulation of credits, which involves a personalisation of each student’s study path. STUDY CYCLES University studies are organised in three cycles: Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree and PhD/Doctorate. Most university careers involve two cycles, usually across five years of study. The University of Liège offers Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD programmes in all academic fields: humanities, natural sciences, technology, engineering and life & health sciences.
