Handbooks & Guidelines

Handbook for Students

Our handbook contains information regarding on-campus facilities, academic programs, and student support services to help students prepare themselves for their life journey as PBS students. The handbook also serves as a reference guide for students, to ensure that they are aware of the rules and procedures that are imposed upon them. Among the things mentioned in the handbook are the need to register for courses based on the recommended course structure, minimum class attendance and preparation of the project paper. 

For our research students, the handbook provides information on the process of nominating the supervisory committee, the need to attend the PURE Colloquium, the Proposal Defense and the submission of the Thesis for Viva-voce.
