Three-year exit award
The catalogue publishes ONE structure for this programme family, listing "B.Sc Psychology (with ACCA Prep.)" and its Honors variant under the same heading, and marks the final two semesters "(For Honors)". The semesters above are those that are NOT so marked, i.e. the ones the catalogue applies to this award; it describes the route as "6 Semesters with three-year exit". They sum to 120 credit hours. The catalogue prints no separate credit total for the exit award itself, and the UAE CAA register records a 121-credit exit at semester six, so that figure is recorded here rather than asserted as the published total.
Accreditation & Professional Recognition
Accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the UAE Ministry of Education.
