Postgraduate Courses

Notes:
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 = Postgraduate courses usually in the form of doctoral seminars or research
   
2) Each course is assigned a course vector which indicates the number of instructional hours required and credits to be earned. The course vector is presented in the form of [L-T-Lab:C] where
L = Lecture hours per week
T = Tutorial, seminar or recitation hours per week
Lab = Laboratory or field study hours per week
C = Number of course credits
   
3) Courses listed here will be offered according to resources available in each term and academic year. Details of course offerings in a particular term will be announced during the course registration period.
