1) |
Each course is identified by a course code which comprises a four-letter code followed by a four-digit number code.
- |
The letter code denotes either the area/program of study or the course offering department. Course descriptions are arranged in alphabetical order of letter codes. |
- |
The last four digits of the number code represent a departmental coding series while the first digit indicates the academic level of the course: |
|
5 |
= |
Postgraduate courses |
6 |
= |
Postgraduate courses usually in the form of seminars, independent studies, reading courses or master research |
7 |
