Progression Requirements

Progression to the next year of study is based on the number of active semesters completed. To remain in the Double Degree programme, students must maintain a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.50 for both degrees. Students who do not meet this requirement for two consecutive semesters in either degree will be required to withdraw from the Double Degree programme.

Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDE)

Students may take additional courses beyond the requirements of the Double Degree programme to broaden their knowledge. These courses are classified as Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDEs) and are included in the GPA for both degrees. Eligible BDE courses may also be used to fulfil the requirements of a Minor, provided they are not part of the prescribed curriculum for either degree.
