Notes

  1. Students must pass 06 07953 First semester mini-project and 06 07954 Second semester mini-project before being allowed to proceed to the MSc project.
  2. Students' individual programmes of study must be approved by the Programme Director (as the nominee of the Head of School). In particular, students who have taken any of the first semester taught modules as undergraduates within the School may substitute up to 30 credits of Level 3/H or 4/M modules from the School's other programmes, subject to the approval of the Programme Director. Note that the MSc Regulations treat modules below Level 4/M very differently from those at Level 4/M.
