2. Core Courses
3. Electives
Every student must take and pass each core (compulsory) course before he or she can be awarded a degree. General Education Courses are University courses outside the Department. Thus, students in the department must take such courses outside the department.
Elective courses will consist of a wide range of courses from which a student must select a given number of courses, which the student must pass before the award of a degree. Such would be additional and/or advanced courses that would not be required of all students, but from those specializing in such subject groups. Most of the electives however, would be outside the compulsory/required subject areas and could be from within or outside the Department and/or from within or outside the Faculty.
Cognate courses are to be taken from other Departments. For each course specified, the categories to which it belongs and weight (credits) attached are indicated. All courses are listed by the year in which they could be offered in the relevant programme. A credit in a course is defined as one contact hour of lecture/tutorial/seminar or three practical per week in a semester of 18 weeks.
