Graduation Requirement

To earn the academic certificate, students must successfully complete the course by achieving at least a passing grade in all assessments for each required and assigned module.

Delivery and Assessment

  1. The programme will be delivered through a blended e-learning approach that combines synchronous and asynchronous modes.

    A total of 32 hours will be conducted through synchronous e-learning, allowing students to engage in real-time interaction with lecturers and peers via live online sessions. These sessions will focus on discussions, collaborative activities, and instructor-led guidance to support active learning.

    A further 304 hours will be allocated to asynchronous e-learning, where students will access digital learning materials, recorded lectures, readings, and self-paced learning activities through the institution’s learning management system. This mode enables flexibility and independent study, allowing learners to manage their learning according to their schedules.

    Assessment for the programme will amount to 32 hours, which are not included in the teaching hours. Assessments may include assignments, projects, quizzes, or examinations designed to evaluate students’ achievement of the intended learning outcomes.

     The teaching, learning and assessment strategy of each module has been designed to ensure that teaching methods are appropriate for achieving the learning objectives of the module.

     Assessments will be conducted via a robust online examination platform, ensuring that online examinations are systematically scheduled, performed, and evaluated with integrity. Candidate’s identity will be authenticated, and manual and/or AI proctoring will be utilised
