Programme Structure and Curriculum

Assessment and Exams

Assessment for each module will be based on a final exam and/or continuous assessment which should nominally involve practical (mini project) components.

  • The practicum will be supervised by faculty members with inputs from industrial collaborating partners (where applicable). Assessment is performed by supervisor and an examiner based on a final project report and presentation.
