Delivery of the learning materials will be through print and non-print media.  In terms of print media, students will be given the necessary course package for their reading and preparation.  In terms of non-print media, an appropriate technological infrastructure is being put in place in the university.  Audio, video and computing facilities are important elements of the programme.  The face-to-face component of the programme is provided through the tutorial and counseling sessions organised at your chosen study centre.  You would need to contact your study centre manager for:

•  Tutorial and Counseling schedules
• Telecast and broadcast schedules

 

Credit System

The CEMBA/CEMPA programmes are based on a credit accumulation system.  Each CEMBA/CEMPA credit is defined on the basis of 20 hours of study load which comprises all learning activities such as working through student materials, preparing assignments, tutored activity, and preparing for examinations.  All courses in each programme carry a credit weighting of 6 (120 study hours).  This indication is intended to help the student understand the academic effort required for successful completion of a course and the programme of choice.
