Biliary colic and cholecystitis are in the spectrum of gallbladder disease. This spectrum ranges from asymptomatic gallstones to biliary colic, cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, and cholangitis. When gallstones temporarily obstruct the cystic duct or pass through into the common bile duct, gallstones become symptomatic and biliary colic develops. When the cystic duct or common bile duct becomes obstructed for hours or gallstones irritate the gallbladder, cholecystitis develops.
B.A. Honours Degree (120 Credit Hours) The B.A. Honours degree comprises 120 credit hours of course work. The honours program is designed for students who wish to undertake a rigorous examination of a particular subject area and who desire a more specialized undergraduate preparation.
It provides higher qualification for employment or prepares for doctoral studies. As one ECTS credit is equivalent to 25 hours of study this means that a master's degree programme should include 2250 hours of study. Current UK M.Sc./M.A. programmes tend to include 1800 hours of study (or 180 UK credits), although many claim to be equivalent to an ECTS accredited master's degree.
