4. Programme structure

4.1 Students are required to select taught modules from the list below. Students are responsible for consulting with the programme administrator to ensure their selected modules do not clash. Modules denoted by * are provided through distance learning. All other modules are taught in one-week blocks.

School  of Electronic & Electrical Engineering 

WolfsonSchool of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering

Department of Materials

* denotes module studied through distance learning.

The School reserves the right to offer or withdraw any module or amend the list of modules. Not all modules may be available in any one session. Students may take any other modules from the University’s postgraduate catalogue of modules subject to their availability and the agreement of the Programme Director. 

4.2          MSc Project Module

All part-time students take project module MMP504. Project submission should normally be within three years of registration on the project module. 

5. Criteria for Progression and Degree Award

5.1 In order to be eligible for the award, candidates must satisfy the requirements of Regulation XXI.

5.2 Candidates who have the right of re-assessment in a module may be offered an opportunity to be re-assessed in the University's special assessment period.
