The Credit Accumulation Transfer Scheme is a framework that enables the University to award postgraduate level qualifications using credit-bearing stand-alone modules as ‘building blocks’ towards a qualification. This means that the credits from modules undertaken within a five-year period can be ‘banked’ towards the award of a qualification. All E-Learning modules (except ICS 8042: Dissertation) are available under the Credit Accumulation Transfer Scheme (CATS). You can take the Dissertation module after all other modules have been successfully completed.
