The University wishes to take this opportunity to set the record straight.
The student concerned finished her honours degree at the end of 2018. She undertook her master’s studies for the full 2019 academic year and graduated in the minimum time period of 12 months, as per the University’s rules.
What took her five months to complete was the edumetric analysis and model building that she performed using existing data sets. It is regrettable that the data analysis period was erroneously indicated as representing the entire period that it took her complete and write up her master’s treatise.
This erroneous misrepresentation has been brought to the student’s attention by her supervisor.
