Academic Unit System (AUS)

The University’s academic structure for its undergraduate programmes is based on the Academic Unit System. The system provides opportunities for students to broaden their learning experience and progress at a pace most suited to their individual needs while maintaining high academic standards.

The main features of the Academic Unit System are the semester arrangement of the academic year and the use of academic units (AU) for measuring academic workload.
