Modular System

The Faculty operates on a Modular System in which students read modules and gain modular credits. A module is taught over one semester. There are 2 main semesters a year. In addition, there are 2 terms of 6 weeks known as the Special Terms that add flexibility to the pace at which students can complete their degree requirements. For more information on the modular system, please refer to this page.

Provisions are also made to enable students to study for at least a semester abroad or at a local university, with the approval of the Dean, to further enhance their learning experience. This is made possible by the Student Exchange Programme. Credit transfer is given towards the fulfillment of degree requirements for approved coursework undertaken at the partner university.
