In order to ensure that the programme of study you construct meets the regulations of the BGST/AGST programme, the University offers a support service for BGST/AGST students. You may write to the Admissions & Enrolment Office (Part-time & Postgraduate) in Registry or use the form for 'Application for Academic Support for Bachelor/Associate of General Studies' and include your study plan and area of interest so that telephone advice can be given to you.
