The programme is offered in English.

The primary delivery mode will be in person and virtual lectures. Additional self-study will also be required outside of contact hours.   

• For each course, there are both lecturer-led and student-centred sessions.  
• Each course is delivered over 17 weeks, in weekly contact sessions of 3 hours. Each timetabled contact session comprises 2 hours of lecture and I hour tutorial.  Of the 17 weeks, 15 will be for teaching; 1 week for reading and another for preparation for final major assignments or exams. 
• The modes of delivery may vary among courses. Some courses may need more practical problem solving than others. Depending on the nature of the topic, some topics may even require the involvement of guest speakers; who are expert of a specific field and field visits.  As a result, the lecturer-led sessions of the programme are loaded with group work, discussions, case studies and potential role play. Comparative analysis of theory and current practices is also a common mode of delivery used.
