The curriculum consists of essential core modules and elective modules that are optional. Specific modules may require prerequisites, requiring students to successfully complete another module or set of modules before registering. Additionally,
certain modules may be designated as co-requisite, meaning they must be taken concurrently. The credit load of each module is indicated by the number in parentheses at the end. Each credit is equivalent to approximately 10 hours of combined guided, in-class, and independent learning. Hence, a module with 10 credits generally involves around 100 hours of study.
