Registration at the University is normally done by programme of study. Our programmes work on a flexible credit accumulation basis. To obtain an award, you are required to follow the regulations governing your programme of study, which outline the number of credits and the courses you need to complete.
Programme Regulations may be updated from time to time. You are advised to check and obtain copies of the most up-to-date regulations by referring to the section of this website “Programme Requirements”.
Programme Regulations are normally updated twice a year and will be available in May and November. You are also advised to contact your Programme Leader for matters related to your studies.
Each course carries a credit value. Courses will normally run for one or two terms and the first digit of the course code generally indicates the level of the course. Courses of postgraduate programmes are normally at postgraduate level. The course code of postgraduate-level courses starts with '8' or '9' except for those non-credit bearing courses. The course code of non-credit bearing courses starts with '0'.
Continuous assessment and examination measure your success in any course. When you successfully complete your course, the credits will be added to your record. You can obtain your award upon accumulation of enough credits for the award as prescribed.
