ACADEMIC STRUCTURE

Each academic year will be divided into two semesters with each semester consisting fifteen (15) weeks of teaching, learning and examinations. The examinations will be held at the end of the semester. The academic level courses can be divided into 100, 200, 300 and 400 level courses, which are equivalent to the First, Second, Third and the Fourth Year respectively. Students are allowed to register a minimum of 9 units and a maximum of 20 units each semester.The allocation for each unit depends on the category of the courses offered as listed below

Theoretical Courses

Each unit for this type of courses is equivalent to 14 hours of teaching and tutorials per semester

Practical Courses / Laboratories

Each unit is equivalent to 21 hours for each semester.

Industrial Training

This course is conducted over 10 weeks during the long break after Semester II at level 300. The training begins early May and ends before Semester I of the final year commences.

However, the status of a student will only depend on the accumulated unit the student has acquired as shown below

First Year Second Year Third year Fourth Year
0 – 33 units 34 – 66 units 67 - 99 units 100 - units for  graduation
