Returning Students (Second/Third Year):

It is always good practice to take your courses in sequence and aim to complete all of

your Level 1 courses before moving on to Level 2.

NB: It is highly recommended that you complete all 3 Foundation

courses (FOUN 1001, FOUN1101, and FOUN1210) before moving to Level 2.

5



NB: Some Level 2 core courses will only be offered in Semester 1.

The BSc Accounting is a specialized, practice-based programme and at Levels 2 and

3, there is a requirement to complete a number of practice tutorial sheets under the

guidance of your tutor. You should therefore register for no more than 3 of the

available courses per semester, OR the maximum number of courses per semester

that you can reasonably complete successfully to ensure that you do not jeopardize

your GPA.

To ensure success at this Level, the working adult should aim to attempt no more

than 3 courses per semester. Note that you can register for a minimum of one course

in a semester, as necessary.

In keeping with the specialized nature of this programme, it is strongly recommended

that you purchase copies of recommended texts as these will serve as useful reference

in your future professional practice

REMINDER: Your Levels 2 and 3 courses count towards the type of degree you are

awarded. A GPA below 2.0 means you will not be awarded a degree.
