Registration procedure

Applications go through the ESAT webs site (Admission & registration process) or directly at the university registration office.

Courses Scheduling

• Basically for engineering studies: 900Hrs/year are required in our systems (contact hours)
• Courses are scheduled per semester on the basis of:
  • 15 weeks/ semester
  • 1 week exams.
• The weekly average load hours (Contact hours): 30 Hrs/week
