Special Departmental Regulations
  As a result of the introduction of the institutional core course, our special departmental regulations have been reviewed. The review means, effectively, that the department will no longer administer a Placement Test in English except in cases where the admission requirements of a programme require a special placement test.
  In addition, a student may request to write a special placement test in order to gain exemption from a particular course provided that the department approves such a request.
