Classes may be held during long holidays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study Load: Full-time EdD students are required to take at least 6 credit points of taught courses per semester unless with prior approval, while for part-time EdD students there is no minimum credit load required. However, with reference to the University\u2019s regulation, it is important to note that part-time students who have not registered for any course in two consecutive semesters will be considered to have withdrawn from the programme. These students are, therefore, expected to apply for deferment of studies if they do not register for any course in a semester.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>h) Can I apply for credit transfer if I have taken a course similar to a listed course in the Doctor of Education programme?<\/summary>\n<p>Credit transfer applications can be handled after admission.
