Notes

Level

Modules are arranged by Level (and then by Title). The University is moving from a numerical labelling of Levels (1-4) to a letter-based labelling (C = Certificate, I = Intermediate, H = Honours, M = Masters).

Any additional letter is only for use within the School.

Level 0 modules are intended for the Foundation Year (Foundation Academy).

For Levels 1/C to 3/H, 'I' after the level designation marks modules only available to the Intercalated Year, 'Q' those only available as a Module Outside the Main Discipline.

For Level 4/M, 'U' marks modules available only for undergraduate MEng/MSci programmes, 'C' only the conversion MSc, 'A' only advanced MSc programmes.

Module Codes

All university modules have an official Module Code, often called the "Banner" code. Codes consist of a two digit "area" code followed by a five digit code for the module. Currently these five digit codes are unique, i.e. the area code is redundant. The area code for Computer Science is 06, and is omitted in the table above.

The Module Codes in the table are linked to "Syllabus Pages". These in turn link to the School of Computer Science Module Description. (Note to module providers: if you wish to change your syllabus page/module description, see the instructions in MDs-XML-Notes.)

Pseudo-Module Codes of the form 06-N#### are used when a module has not yet been assigned an official Module Code.

See below for submodules.

Module Title

Unfortunately, different University databases contain different variants of module titles, partly because the maximum number of characters allowed varies. The module code is the only sure guide.

Submodules have no status outside the School, merely reflecting the way the module is taught. They are designated by a Module Code with digits after a decimal point: thus 12345.2 would be the code for the second submodule for the module with code 12345. Text after a colon in a Module Title gives the title of the submodule, reflecting the way the module is taught.

Lecturer(s)

Parentheses around a lecturer's name indicate co-ordination, i.e. that the number of lectures involved is either none or very few.

Where no coordinator is given, the FIRST-named lecturer is responsible for coordinating the module (except in the case of linked modules, where the coordinator for the SECOND module is responsible for combining assessment marks).

Square brackets around a lecturer's name indicate significant overlap of teaching with another module. The Taught With column indicates which other module or submodule the unit is taught with.

Nos

Numbers are generally estimates, particularly for optional modules. Where no number is given and the lecturer name is in [..], the number has been included in the overlapping module.

E-mail List

The e-mail list for each module is automatically derived from the School's database. Changes to module registrations made via the School Office should normally be reflected in the e-mail list overnight. Note that the e-mail lists are strictly one per module; where modules are taught together all relevant e-mail lists need to be used in order to contact students.

Taught With

A non-blank entry in this column indicates that the (sub)module is taught with some other (sub)module(s). * indicates that it is considered the 'base' unit, i.e. there will at least one other (sub)module taught with this module. A (sub)module code in this column gives the code of the 'base' unit it is taught with.
