notional learning hours definition

notional learning hours means the agreed estimate of the learning time that it would take an average student to meet the defined learning outcomes of the course-unit or programme; it includes consideration of contact time, research, completion of assignments, time spent in structured learning in the workplace, individual learning and assessment. They are therefore not a precise measure but, provide students with an indication of the amount of study and degree of commitment expected. Ten notional hours equate to one credit.
