Prerequisite Subjects that must be completed before a person is eligible to enter a particular course or enrol into a particular subject.

Recognition of relevant work experience and or life experience is also taken into account. Semester The University year is made up of two main teaching periods known as Semesters. Semester 1 runs from March to July and Semester 2 runs from July to November. There is also a summer semester which runs from December to February but not all subjects are available for study. 93
