Programme Aims & Outcomes

Each single honours and taught postgraduate degree programme has its own 'programme specification', which include its overall aims and outcomes. Joint honours degree programmes have a programme specification for the part of the programme taught by Computer Science; there is also an overall programme specification.

The Computer Science programme specifications are linked to the name of the programme in the tables below.

The School also has general aims and learning outcomes.

Some Joint Honours programmes have been discontinued for students who have progressed normally. Special arrangements will be made for students whose progression has been delayed by repeating modules, leave of absence, etc.

Other Undergraduate Provision

Degrees with Study Abroad
Certificate in Industrial Studies
Intercalated Year in Computer Science: General, Modules
Modules Outside the Main Discipline offered for students outside Computer Science (none available in 2010/11)

Postgraduate Taught Programmes

Important note: there have been major changes in the general University regulations for taught postgraduate degrees (MSc, PGDip, PGCert) over recent academic years. Students need to check carefully which regulations apply to them.

Professional Accreditation

The School's undergraduate degree programmes, where appropriate, have been designed to be compatible with the requirements of the British Computer Society (BCS) and The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET; formerly the Institution of Electrical Engineering, IEE), both members of the Engineering Council.

It is never possible to guarantee in advance that a degree programme will be accredited since this is determined by the professional society, not the School.

For further details, see Accreditation of Degrees in the School of Computer Science 2003-2012 [PDF].
