APhysical Science - ICT Course Structure.ll compulsory course units of a given subject together form the minimum subject content required to be completed by a student following those units as the subject.
The optional course unitsare those outside the core of a particular subject.
The auxiliary course units of a subject are, in general, designed to provide fundamental knowledge and to develop some skills in selected areas of the subject. Auxiliary course units of a subject are offered, without any pre-requisites, to all students other than those who are following that as a subject.
An alpha numeric code is used to identify a unit. The code consists of five digits prefixed by a set of four letters which refers to the principal discipline of the course content of the unit.
The first digit denotes the level of the course unit whereas the fifth digit signifies its credit value. The second digit indicates the semester in which the course unit is offered (1 – first semester, 2 – second semester, 3 – both first & second semesters, 4 – either the first or the second semester). The third and fourth digits together form a number assigned by the Department that conducts it.
