Postgraduate courses and subjects 2000 - Assessment of performance

Assessment of performance

Each subject in a particular semester (or year if applicable) is completed and its candidates assessed or examined before the next semester starts. Final examinations can, if required by a department, be held after the completion of the semester but before the start of the next semester. In the case of second semester, the final examination must be held within three weeks of completion of the 13-week semester.
Candidature may be terminated if progress is regarded as unsatisfactory. Performances will be reviewed at the end of each academic year and if they do not reach the required standard, students will not be permitted to continue with the course. Students will be given their results by marks and grading of high distinction (HD), distinction (D), credit (C), pass (P) or fail (N) in each subject.
