The programme takes 1.5 years to complete. It is expected that classes will be conducted online and/or live streamed from campus and that laboratory practicals will take place in small groups in MTU Bishopstown Campus on two separate Saturdays (10am – 4pm). Therefore, it will be possible for students to take these modules and only have to attend campus for labs, the final exam, and any site visits.

Attendance at laboratories is mandatory whereas attendance at site visits is not. Lecture sessions will take place from 6.30pm – 8.30pm on Tuesday evenings. The programme is delivered over 3 Semesters.
