What the record actually says

NOT in the programme list on KUST's homepage — confirm it is still offered. KUST rule for Diplomas: three to four credits, not more than two sittings (EduGuide checks three). KUST's website still advertises the 2025/26 intake (applications closed 30 Sept 2025) and has not posted 2026/27 information — confirm dates with the Registrar (+232 76 471170).
