8. Program implementation instructions

a. The training program is implemented in accordance with the university training regulations of the regular system according to the current credit system of the MOET and TUAF.

Hours are calculated as follows:

1 credit = 15 hours of theory teaching or class discussion

= 30 hours of experimentation or practice

= 45 hours of self-study

= 45 – 90 hours of internship at the facility

= 45 - 60 hours of project implementation, graduation thesis.

b. Foreign language output standards: According to the regulations of the TUAF, during the study period, the School may control the development of students' foreign language proficiency through academic years to decide the number of credits of courses in the semester that students are allowed to register. Students can study on their own or register for a foreign language development program according to the University's project.
