Transfer students
I. Transfer of students from a university or higher institute recognized by the Ministry' of Higher Education may be made provided the Academy's admission conditions be met.
2. Transfer credit for students in the two pre-specialization years shall be evaluated and awarded by the Academy's Vice-Dean for Educational Affairs, and in the two specialization years by the relevant scientific department on condition that the previous estimate not be less than 'Gqod' (C); that the content of the number of credit hours be equivalent to its counterpart in the study plan of the specialization to which the student will be transferred and that no more than four years should have elapsed on success in the course. Transfer credits will not be incorporated into the calculation of the Academy's Grade Point Average (GPA). This also applies to students who register in and study some courses outside the Academy, i.e. in foreign universities, on condition of the prior consent of the Academic Advisor, the Department Council as well as the endorsement of the Academy's Dean.
3. After the endorsement of the Academy's Dean, a student may transfer from one specialization into another if (s)he meets the rules of admission into the scientific specialization required for such transfer, the availability of places and the approval of both the council of the department transferred from and the council of the department transferred to. Transfer procedures are made during the Addition Period. |
Study system in media science
I. Study in the IAEMS is based on the credit-hour system (144 credit hours). A credit hour is a single one-hour theoretical lecture that continues over sixteen weeks and is equivalent to two practical hours in a week for labs, practical training and workshops.
2. The academic year consists of two main academic terms (Autumn, Spring) according to the calendar endorsed by the Academic Council. A two-week mid-year vacation occurs in between the two terms.
3. The Academy may suggest an intensive academic term during the summer months, called the 'Summer Course'. The academic load of this term ranges between three to six credit hours, which can be increased to nine credit hours provided the student graduate in the same term.
4. A student can sign up for the academic courses at the outset of every academic term according to the Academy's study agenda. A student's standard quota is 18 credit hours weekly (six academic courses) and may increase to 21 credit hours if (s)he scores a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5 upwards in the academic term that preceded the term in which the registration is conducted, or if such increase is required by the student's academic plan with the intention of graduation in the same academic term.
5. If a student scores a GPA of less than (2),(s)he receives an academic warning and his/her academic rate shall be reduced to (12) credit hours (four courses at most).
If (s)he fails to score a GPA of (2) at least in the subsequent academic term, (s)he receives a second academic warning and his/her academic rate will drop to (9) credit hours (three courses).
6. If a student successfully passes a course(s)he previously failed, his/her GPA will be calculated on the basis of the estimate (s)he achieved after his/her re-taking of the course. If a student re-joins a course which (s)he previously succeeded in with a 'Pass' (D) estimate so as to improve his/her GPA, both the first and second estimates will be written down in his academic register. His/her GPA will be calculated on the basis of the last estimate (s)he achieved, on condition this not exceed three courses during his/her period of study at the Academy.
7. The English language is the Academy's main educational language, except for some courses which the Academic Council decides that they be studied in Arabic, together with some courses that are presented in Arabic or in second fo~eign language within the framework of elective courses. Answering examinations shall be in the language in which the course has been taught. The student has the right to answer exams in Arabic or in English with the approval of the course teacher and endorsement of the Academy's Dean.
8. Regularity in Study: A student regularly attends theoretical lectures and applications of the courses in which (s)he has enrolled with a minimum of 75%. If the student's absence percentage is more than 10% of the number of theoretical and practical hours, (s)he receives the first warning; if the percentage reaches 20%, (s)he receives a second warning. If the student's absence percentage is 25% upwards of the number of theoretical hours and applications, (s)he will be considered as having failed in the course and will be assigned a 'Failed' (F) estimate in his/her academic register, which will be calculated in his/her term GPA and cumulative GPA. The Department Council Head may, in the specialisation stage, consider the student as having withdrawn from the course without failure if the student files a compulsive excuse accepted by the Academic Advisor and endorsed by the Department Council and the Academy's Dean. |
Evaluation
1. A student's academic register represents the document containing his/her academic attainments. It contains the courses that (s)he has completed, the estimates (s)he obtained in every course, the term GPA and cumulative GPA. This document is endorsed by the Academy's Dean and stamped by the Academy's seal.
2. The term rate is calculated by adding all the points scored by the student in the courses (s)he studied and dividing them by the number of the courses in the academic term. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated according to the average of the estimates scored in all the previous academic terms.
3. Each academic course is assigned 100 marks, distributed as follows:
50 marks for term work, which break down into: 10 marks for attendance and participation, 20 marks for term work and 20 marks for the mid-term examination.
The other 50 marks are allocated to the final examination. The Academic Council may set other criteria for the marks distribution of some courses of applied nature.
4. A student's estimates in courses are calculated as follows:

| 3.50 upwards |
EXCELLENT |
| 3 to less than 3.50 |
VERY GOOD |
| 2.50 to less than 3 |
GOOD |
| 2 to less than 2.50 |
PASS |
| less than 2 |
FAIL |
Students who have met all the graduation prerequisites with a GPA of 3.60 or more will be conferred the First Degree of Honours (summa cum laude) and those who scored a GPA starting from 3.40 and less than 3.60 will be granted the Second Degree of Honours (magna cum laude) provided that they have not failed in any course during their study at the Academy. .
6. The Academic Council endorses the results of the examinations of the academic terms. The Ministry of Higher Education endorses the results of final Bachelor's Degree examinations upon the Academic Council's recommendation. A student's results will not be announced unless (s)he has fully paid the tuition fees and the additional fees. The lAMS writes out provisional certificates to the lAMS graduates, signed by the Academy's Dean and ratified by the Ministry of Higher Education pending issuance of the original certificates which are endorsed by the Minister of Higher Education.
7. Administration of Examinations: The Academy's Dean is the general chairman of the promotion (i.e. freshmen, sophomores and juniors) and bachelor(i.e. seniors) examinations and is fully responsible for organising all the procedures related to the examination process, which is held according to the relevant regulating rules.
The Vice-Dean of related jurisdiction is the Dean's deputy. Examination committees are formed according to related organizing rules. Such formation is endorsed by the Academy's Dean and reported to the Ministry of Higher Education.
The lAMS notifies the department concerned at the Ministry of Higher Education of the dates of examination at least one month in advance as well as the names of students listed in the examination for endorsement. |
Graduation
I. A student obtains a Bachelor's Degree in Media Sciences in one of the four specialisations after having earned 144 credit hours (48 academic courses).
2. Students are classified into four levels according to the number of hours taken as follows:
- The first level: where the student is considered at the level of the first academic year (freshman) when getting admitted into the Academy.
- The second level: where the student is considered at the level of the second academic year (sophomore) when (s)he has successfully earned 36 credit hours.
- The third level: where the student is considered at the level of the third academic year Uunior) when (s)he has successfully taken 72 hours.
- The fourth level: where the student is considered at the level of the fourth academic year (senior) when (s)he has successfully taken 108 credit hours.
- A student is granted the Bachelor's Degree after having successfully taken 144 hours.
3. Academic courses are staggered into two main stages:
First: The Pre-specialisation Stage:
- 6 core courses = 18 credit hours 6 x 3 = 18 credit hours
- 7 out of 12 elective courses from 'Elective A' group 7 x 3 = 21 credit hours
- 8 elective courses in 'Elective B' group 8 x 3 = 24 credit hours
- The total number of required courses in the pre-specialisation stage is:
21 x 3 = 36 credit hours.
Second: The Specialisation Stage:
Academic courses in each scientific section are distributed as follows:
- 15 core courses 15 x 3 = 45 credit hours
- 12 out of 17 elective courses 12 x 3 = 36 credit hours
- The total is 27 courses x 3 = 81 credit hours.
4. A student can elect three courses at most (9 credit hours)outside his/her specialisation.
These courses will be included among the elective courses of his/her major.
