Course Listings

The courses listed in this section include all courses approved for the undergraduate curriculum for the 2025-2026 academic year. Not all courses in the approved curriculum will be offered during the year. Students are advised to refer to the course timetables available annually in Mosaic in March and June to determine which specific courses will be offered in the upcoming sessions.
