Part-Time Non-Examination
BTech/MSc Course
~ What, Who, Why, When, Where ~
• WHAT ARE THESE PROGRAMMES ALL ABOUT?
The Part-Time Non-Examination BTech / MSc programmes are the same as our graduate
programmes that enroll part-time students pursuing their degrees. However, participants
who enroll for the non-examination version need not sit for the exams. Non-examination
students will alternatively be awarded with Certificates of Attendance instead of Degrees.
Classes are usually conducted in the evenings from 6pm – 9pm on Mondays to Fridays.
• WHO IS IT FOR?
The courses are targeted at working engineers who want to attend specific modules from
the BTech / MSc programmes as a refresher’s course and / or to learn more about certain
areas within their profession to enhance their knowledge.
• WHY DO WE OFFER THESE PROGRAMMES?
These courses are offered to provide individuals with an option to upgrade / equip
themselves with specific knowledge without having to go through the entire BTech / MSc
programme.
• WHEN ARE THE COURSES AVAILABLE?
Lectures are attended by both examination and non-examination students simultaneously.
Therefore the courses are also offered according the University’s academic term.
Semester I commences approximately in the last week of July while Semester II
commences approximately in the first week of January.
• WHERE WILL THE CLASSES BE HELD?
Classes are held within the University’s premise in the Faculty of Engineering.
