Module Requirements

Each MSc student is required to complete 40 modular credits (MC), equivalent to 10 modules (assuming 4 MC per module), before graduation. Among these 10 modules, the 2 Core modules are compulsory. The rest of the 8 modules can be all from the Elective modules list, or with maximum 2 non-core non-elective (NCE) modules. Only postgraduate modules (Level 5000 and 6000) within Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Science can be considered as NCE modules.
