Course Code and Sequence

A course code comprises four alphabets and four numerals. The first four alphabets stand for the subjects (e.g., ENGE, BIOL stand for English and Biology respectively). The first numeral of undergraduate courses stands for the level of study. Undergraduate courses are coded 1 to 4 while postgraduate courses are coded 5 to 9.

 

Normally, lower-level courses should be taken before upper-level courses. However, for the sake of flexibility, most courses are open to students of all years of attendance subject to satisfactory fulfilment of prerequisite and corequisite requirements.
