How many credits are in a Unisa module?
Most Unisa modules are worth 12 credits.
The total number of credits required for your qualification will vary depending on the program you’re enrolled in.
For example, a bachelor’s degree typically requires 360 credits, while a diploma may require 120 credits.
How many modules should you register for?
Before you decide on the number of modules to take, think about the following:
• Your time: You will need between 6 and 8 hours per week for each semester
module and between 4 and 6 hours per week for each year module. How
many hours do you have available to study in a week? Take into account your
other commitments, such as working, spending time with family and friends,
and participating in sport and community activities. Then divide this total
number of hours by 8 – this will give you an idea of the number of modules
you should be able to manage. If you have too little time to study, you may
need to start thinking about where you are able to sacrifice so that you could
complete your qualification in a reasonable period of time.
• Minimum number of modules: You need to pass a minimum of 36 credits in
your first year of study and then 48 credits in your second and further years of
study. For example, in your first year of study, you pass one module of 12
credits during the first semester and two modules of 12 credits each during
the second semester. This means that you have completed 36 credits for the
year and may re-register. Click here to read more about Unisa’s re-admission
