Class Schedule

  • Based on your allocation and how long you want to do your master's, I have chosen 3 semesters (18 months). Based on the professor, all my 3 semesters, there is no particular time.
  • Average 20 to 30—5 to 10 based on the subjects. 5 members in the courses—10 hours in a week based on difficulty and your knowledge level. I feel one of the subjects (subject) is very easy due to my work experience, while others feel difficult.
