Philosophy

Ruhalaya College of Philosophy offers first cycle three-year philosophy course equivalent to a Baccalaureate Programme spread through six semesters and a two-year Baccalaureate in Philosophy for Degree students with another Baccalaureate. Along with the three-year B.Ph. programme, the students are allowed to procure a secular B.A. Degree from a University prescribed by the institute. The courses offered are measured in terms of ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits. As a rule, students must obtain 180 ECTS credits to fulfill the requirements of the Bachelor of Philosophy programme (Instruction Art. 32). For the two-year Baccalaureate in Philosophy for Degree students, 48 credits are accredited from previous university studies so that the candidate could complete the Baccalaureate in four semesters, fulfilling the norms in Veritatis Gaudium. One ECTS credit is equivalent to 25 hours of workload. Each lecture is of 45 minutes duration or didactic activity. Each credit consists of 15 academic sessions and equal duration of personal work and preparation for examination. Each credit is given a weightage of 25 marks. As a rule, there are 18-20 weeks in a semester. First Semester is from June 15 to October 15, and Second Semester from November 1 to March 31. Semester break is from October 16 to 31, and Christmas holidays are from December 21 to 27.
