Nothing is accepted without the process behind it.
- Final project announced mid-semester, after the midterm.
- Developed in stages under your teacher: concept, drafts, iterations, execution.
- Internal jury: a full mock defence with faculty.
- Pasting day: your work is mounted or screened for review.
- External jury of working professionals, at least two per course, holding the final 40 marks.
Where this sits.
- 01Certificate4 months
- 02Diploma+ 6 months · 10 months total
- 03Associate Degree+ 1 year · 1 yr 10 mo total
- 04Bachelor’s+ 2 years · 3 yrs 10 mo total
- 05Postgraduate Diploma+ 1 year · 4 yrs 10 mo total
- 06Master’s+ 1 year · 5 yrs 10 mo total
Each step counts the credits you already hold, so a step takes less time than the programme on its own: a 1-year diploma takes about 6 more months after a certificate, a 4-year bachelor’s about 2 more years after an associate degree. Climbing every rung takes about 5 years 10 months, a few months more than a bachelor’s and a master’s taken back to back (about 5½ years). The point isn’t speed: you can stop at any rung with a recognised qualification, work, and come back for the next.
