The Programme is intended to run on a session/trimester basis. The session basis will be implemented by following three weeks (3) of active face-to-face engagement and nine (9) weeks of self-paced teaching-learning. Other three (3) weeks will be meant for assessment, translating to fifteen (15) weeks per session. An average full-time equivalent student will be expected to study for a 20-hour week, thus requiring a minimum of 600 hours. This will be equivalent to 60 credit units for an academic year. This therefore means that a one-year Programme of study will require a minimum credit-load of 30 credits units and a maximum credit load of 60 credits. The session intakes will always be in May and August of each academic year.
