New Graduate Student Orientation
New Graduate Student Orientation is Mandatory in GCTU. Our focus for orientation is to help students excel in studies. Orientation content is developed with this goal in mind. Postgraduate studies at GCTU is a step ahead of the traditional postgraduate studies around. Apart from its blended learning systems, and online learning management system, the school is very keen on excellent academic writing. Though some of our courses were developed with industry, all write ups are subjected to vigorous academic standards.
At the Graduate School, lectures begin right after orientation. It is therefore imperative for all admitted students to understand the way things get done at GCTU Graduate School.
