BEng/MEng Computing Degree Overview

The BEng/MEng Computing degrees are run under Faculty of Engineering rules. To proceed to the following year, students generally need to have obtained at least 40% in the preceding year (see below for specific progression rules). If you fail to pass a particular module, you may be allowed to resit in September or the following year.

The marks from each year are accumulated over the three or four years of the degree to obtain a final mark. This is then used to decide the final degree classification. The marks from each year are weighted as follows:

Course
Year Weighting
BEng
[7.50%]:[35.00%]:[57.50%]
MEng
[7.50%]:[20.00%]:[36.25%]:[36.25%]

MEng Registration

In order to progress to MEng Year 3, candidates must normally achieve an overall aggregate 2:1 mark (at least 60%) in Year 2. For JMC candidates, the aggregate mark is taken across both the Maths and Computing disciplines.
The final decision on MEng registration will be made based on the candidate's overall performance in JMC Year 2.

First year

Transfer between the BEng and MEng degrees (and vice-versa) will be permitted on agreement of the Senior Tutor during Year 1. However, BEng to MEng degree transfer requests are usually held until the end of Year 2, when it is known if the candidate has satisfied the Year 3 MEng progression requirement. It is usually required that all transfer decisions have been finalised by the start of Year 3, when the two degree streams diverge.

Second year

Transfer between the BEng and MEng degrees (and vice-versa) will be permitted on agreement of the Senior Tutor during Year 2, subject to the candidate's performance in Year 1 and continuous assessment marks in Year 2. However, BEng to MEng degree transfer requests are usually held until the end of Year 2, when it is known if the candidate has satisfied the Year 3 MEng progression requirement. It is usually required that all transfer decisions have been finalised by the start of Year 3, when the two degree streams diverge.

Required to Transfer to BEng

A candidate may be required to transfer from the MEng to the BEng degree at the end of Year 2, if they fail to meet the Year 3 MEng progression requirement.
