1. Students will have to enrol on at least 60 credits of level 3 modules including at most one project module.
2. The choice of modules is subject to approval by the Programme Manager of the relevant MSc programme, and will depend on the student's academic record, and on the MSc programme the student is aiming for.
3. The Programme Manager, in conjunction with the Director of Student Education, may suggest more optional existing modules (not included in the above list) at his/her discretion according to the student's background.
4. The choice of modules is subject to timetable constraints (i.e. not all combinations of modules are possible).
To be eligible for the award, students need to pass at least 100 credits, including at least 60 credits at Level 3 and have an overall average of at least 4.0.
Students with satisfactory performance will be eligible for a place on one of the MSc programmes in the following academic year. The conditions will typically be a weighted average of 60% or greater over all modules taken, with a weighted average of at least 60% over all level 3 or higher modules, and possibly more specific conditions depending on the MSc programme the applicant is aiming for.
