| 2 |
Candidates for the degree shall complete the degree requirements, as hereinafter prescribed, in not less than three separate years of full-time study (or its equivalent) and not more than eight years, of passing in the first unit claimed as a unit of the course, unless otherwise exempt by the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology. |
Course structure
