2.1 |
All undergraduate programmes in ECS are full-time degrees. |
2.2 |
Bachelors degrees normally require three years of study. MComp/MEng degrees normally require four years of study. |
2.3 |
Students who transfer from an MComp/MEng programme to a BEng/BSc programme will not normally be permitted to transfer back to the MComp/MEng. |
2.4 |
Transfer from BEng/BSc to MComp/MEng is normally permitted up to the start of the final term of the third year. Transfer is conditional on the student having taken any modules that are compulsory for the MComp/MEng programme, and their prior academic performance. |
2.5 |
All Part I modules are core. This means they must be taken and passed with a minimum mark of at least 40% before students may progress to Part II. |
2.6 |
The individual third year project, and the fourth year group design project are also core components. These must be taken and passed with a minimum mark of 40% before any late penalty is applied. |
2.7 |
A referral in a core project module represents an opportunity for a student who has failed this module to undertake additional work on the original project, normally without receiving additional supervision or undertaking further experimental work. |
2.8 |
Students on taught programmes in ECS are required to register for 60 credits of modules in each semester. Students may attend lectures for additional modules, but only with the permission of the module leader. Students may not participate in the assessment activities of these additional modules. |
2.9 |
The compulsory and optional modules for each year of each ECS degree are given in the programme specifications and student courses handbook. Some modules have pre-requisites and some modules are mutually exclusive. These are documented in the ECS module specifications. A printed copy of the latest version of these documents is kept in the ECS Student Services Office and can also be viewed electronically on the ECS website. |
2.10 |
Students must select their options for each semester of study before the start of the semester on or before the options deadline as notified by the Options Coordinator. |
2.11 |
It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that the combination of modules they have selected is valid and meets the requirements of their programme of study. |
2.12 |
Students may change their selection up to the end of week three of the semester. Students changing their selection after the deadline are responsible for checking that there are no timetable clashes. |
2.13 |
Completed options forms must be signed by the student and their personal tutor, senior tutor or programme coordinator. |
2.14 |
The deadlines indicated above apply to the submission of a properly completed options form to ECS Student Services. |
