Third Year (MEng) Courses and Regulations
List of courses
Autumn, spring, and summer courses can be viewed on our Computing third year (MEng). Students select six courses from an approved list of electives. In addition, students need to take an I-Explore module as a requirement.
Coursework
Each lecture course has associated coursework. The weighting is normally 20%, although for some more practical courses the weighting is 30%. The courses with 30% are: COMP60019, and COMP70050 while COMP60003 has separate assessment criteria. The rest is assessed by written examination.
Projects
Students participate in a group project in the first term.
In addition to the core and compulsory modules the placement constitutes the equivalent of 15 ECTS of load in the third year, but this does not contribute to the final degree classification.

Progression requirements
In order to progress to the fourth year you must pass all modules in year 3 (including I-Explore).
In addition, to qualify for the fourth year you must obtain an Industrial placement. Students who fail to achieve this will normally be required to transfer to the BEng degree and complete an individual project.
