Information & Guidance

The normal workload for full-time MEngSc students is 90 credits, with typically 30 credits of taught modules in each of the first two semesters, and 30-credits including the project module in the third Semester.

The normal workload for part-time MEngSc students is 90 credits, and students should take a minimum of 30 credits in each year, following the guidance below and with advice from their Programme Coordinator.

Some modules are denoted as Core Modules (modules that must be taken) and Optional Modules (where students have some choice). It is recommended that students select modules in consultation with their Programme Coordinator.

If a student finds that they are unable to register to a particular module because of a pre-requisite issue, they will need to obtain their Programme Coordinator's permission to register to that module. This requires a manual registration, which the College Office will assist with.

If you are in need of assistance, please use the Student Connector.
