How is it Assessed?
There are no traditional examinations. Assessment is continuous and portfolio-based:
• Technical assignments and practical tasks
• Project work and system development exercises
• Written analysis and reports
• Presentations and demonstrations
This model builds the independent learning, analytical and research skills that universities value — alongside the hands-on technical skills employers demand.
