Recommended enrolment pattern

Students are able to enrol in any offered mode of a course (on-campus, external or online), regardless of the program mode of study they enrolled in.

Upon accepting a place in the program, students would have informed the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences of the majors they wished to study. In collaboration with appropriate academic staff, a suitable enrolment pattern for individual students would have been constructed (subject to timetabling constraints), students would have been informed of this pattern and enrolled in courses according to this pattern.
