before the deadline. Sections in the form that require supervisor's or graduate coordinator's input may be left blank for the Department to follow up.
- All graduate students would only be able to register for tutorials/labs of maths modules after they have been registered for the modules, i.e. the modules appear in their SIS records. Instructions for registering for tutorials/labs of maths modules can be found here.
- To register for the tutorials of non-maths modules, students should cosult the respective module host departments for procedure.
- While waiting for modules/tutorials to be registered, students should continue to attend classes as planned.
NOTES
- Students may log on to mySIS to check the modules and tutorials that have been registered.
- As modules registered with paper forms are routed to the Faculty for manual data input, module and tutorial registration records may be delayed due to overwhelming volume of paperwork during module registration period.
FAQ
I can't find class timetable for MA5198!
There is no fixed schedule for MA5198. Students who are registering for it should follow the procedure below:
- Register for the module MA5198 during module registration period;
- Contact the faculty members who are in charge of organizing regular seminar series to register your name for the semester. You may register for any seminar series that interest you but you must register for at least 2 different series;
- Participate in the seminars as scheduled. You are required to give (at least) one presentation in either seminar series;
- An appointed coordinator for the semester would advise the students and be tasked to assess each student's participation through the organizers of the seminar series. A student would normally consult his/her thesis supervisor and the organizers of the seminar series on their presentations.
Are there any guidelines on the type of modules that I should read?
The Department's programmes operate on a modular system where modules are structured to be taught on a semester basis. Based on the list of modules offered in every semester and the graduation requirements outlined for a programme, students may choose to read any modules as long as they meet the prerequisites and the timetable suits their schedules. Most students would select modules that interest them most or which fit with their area of focus.
Am I allowed to read more modules than are required for graduation?
Yes, as long as you have no problems coping with the schedule and that they are completed within the maximum candidature.
M.Sc. in QF students should note that they have to pay modular fee for modules read in excess of the 10 required for graduation.
Am I allowed to read modules outside the Department?
You may read modules from other departments or Faculties, subject to the host department's/Faculty's approval. But you are only allowed to use a limited number of relevant modules to count towards your graduation.
M.Sc. in QF students should give priority in reading modules required for graduation, and also note that they have to pay modular fee for modules read in excess of the 10 required for graduation.
