Prospective students should note that the modules offered to PG Dip in Engineering students will be revised every year, taking into account the fast changing context of renewable and sustainable energy, and the availability of experts in these fields.

Students may apply to the Postgraduate Admissions Committee for recognition of modules done at other departments or institutions. However, no recognition will be granted for modules done as part of another qualification. The Committee will assess whether each module is considered to be equivalent to a postgraduate module.

Part-time students must have off-campus access to the internet and e-mail. All students have to attend classes, tests and examinations on campus.
