How courses are identified

The course code at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) consists of the following elements

Academic year:

The first three digits of the course code indicate the academic year in which the course is offered. For example, a course code starting with 110 indicates the academic year 2021-2022.

Semester:

The fourth and fifth digits of the course code indicate the term in which the course is offered. For example, a course code ending with 01 indicates the first term (fall semester) and a code ending with 02 indicates the second term (spring semester).

Department:

The next four letters of the course code indicate the department offering the course. For example, PHYS stands for the Department of Physics.

Course level:

The last four digits of the course code indicate the level of the course. The first digit represents the year of study (1 for first year, 2 for second year, etc.) and the remaining three digits identify the course. For example, a course code ending in 1001 indicates a first-year course. Graduate level courses are identified by course codes that begin with 5 (e.g. 5001).
