Structure of Programme(s) |

Mode of attendance and duration
The programme is restricted to full-time study only. All students register on the MEng programme. There are four Parts and each Part is normally completed in one academic year. There is the option to exit the programme with a BEng degree after successful completion of Part III.
Structure
In Part I all modules are core and in Part II all modules are compulsory. In Part III the Individual Project is core and the remainder of Parts III and IV comprise a mixture of compulsory and optional modules. Part IV is worth 150 credit points whereas all previous Parts attract 120 credit points each.
The MEng degree normally requires two 10-week industrial placements to be undertaken, one at the end of Part II and Part III.
Students who transfer from an MEng programme to a BEng programme will not normally be permitted to transfer back to a MEng programme.
Modules
Modules are listed in the Programme Specification and full details are given in the Module Specifications. Module specifications and module availability are subject to annual review.
Modules normally available to Part III and IV students are classified as at either Higher (6) or Masters (7) level. In Part III, all optional modules are at level 6. In Part IV, at least 60 credit points must be from optional modules at level 7.
Module preferences are expressed by students and selections are subject to approval by the Programme Organiser. |

Assessment |

Assessment of examinations and coursework is in accordance with University regulations (see University Calendar Section IV).
When students repeat modules externally, it may be impractical for them to undertake the normal assessment activities, for example assessed laboratory or group work. In such cases they will be provided with an alternative but equivalent form of assessment which will meet the required learning outcomes. |
