agree  Jenni Lukac (X): I'd add "degree" to program/programme.

agree  AllegroTrans: program/programme; leave out "degree" it's not in the original and it avoids any attempt to "convert" the term to US, UK or anywhere else

The degree course takes 9 semesters to complete


Explanation:
A bit longer but imo think it needs to be spelled out. "course" or perhaps "major" should be added to degree. "program" might be ok for US but imo think it's too vague and ambiguous.

or... lasts 9 semesters
or...has a duration of 9 semesters

It is a nine-semester course of study.


Explanation:
Tal vez "program" suena muy amplio y un poco vago. Tal vez
"course of study" es un poco más específico.
