General Academic Information
The Modular System
Modular & Credit-Based Academic System
Our courses follow a modular and credit-based academic system. Each course is a combination of different study units called modules. These modules cover various subject areas relevant to the course and are classified as follows:
| Core Modules | Prescribed Electives | Complementary Electives |
|---|---|---|
These modules give you a firm foundation in your main discipline of studies. You must pass all relevant core modules to graduate.
|
You are required to choose from clusters of recommended modules, where available. These help you to develop specific focus and fields of specialisation.
|
You are exposed to areas outside your main discipline of studies, where available. You may register for modules that match your interests.
|
With our holistic course offerings, you can enjoy the flexibility of studying at a suitable pace while pursuing new interests.
