DISCLAIMER

This Undergraduate Handbook has been compiled to improve the communication between staff and students regarding programmes, that is, the majors, minors and options offered within the Faculty. The programme requirements outlined are to be adhered to by 1) Students enrolling in the Faculty for the 2020-2021 academic year; 2) Students who transferred into the Faculty for the 2020-2021 academic year; and 3) Students who changed their major/minor for the 2020-2021 academic year. Though the Faculty worked assiduously to present the most updated information in the Handbook, students should communicate with their Departments/Sections for changes that possibly occurred after the publication of the Handbook.
