List of modules

A full list of the First Year Autumn, Spring and Summer Term modules can be viewed on our Joint Maths and Computing First Year webpage. 

Regulations

JMC Year 1 consist of 7 compulsory modules.

Continuous Assessment

Computing lecture modules have associated coursework, contributing 15% of the marks for the module. The remaining 85% of the module mark is assessed by written examination.
Maths lecture modules have associated tests and coursework where the format and contribution to the overall module mark varies per module.
Computing Practical 1 consists of an integrated module of coursework in all three terms. It also includes Programming and Professional Issues.
Programming is assessed by on-line tests and project work. There is also a research aspect, which runs in the first and second terms. This is assessed by reports and presentations.

Credit

Each module contributes its relative ECTS weight towards the year total, with the exception of MATH40009 which is ZERO weighted.
In total there are 60 ECTS in Year 1 - 30 ECTS in Computing modules and 30 ECTS in Maths modules.

Supplementary Qualifying Tests

At the discretion of the Examiners, Supplementary Qualifying Tests may be offered to a student who marginally fails to achieve the above requirements.

Please see JMC1 progression rules for a guide to progression to JMC2.

List of modules

A full list of the Third (BEng) Year Autumn, Spring and Summer Term modules can be viewed on our Joint Maths and Computing (BEng) third year webpage.

Regulations

JMC BEng Year 3 consists of 7 selected modules, as well as a compulsory group project (COMP60021) in Computing and a compulsory individual project taken in either department (COMP60026 or MATH96045).

Computing: At least 2 and at most 5 optional Computing modules are to be chosen from the overall list of modules which are made available (this selection does not include the group project). One Computing option may be Models of Computation (COMP50003) if this module was not already taken in JMC Year 2.

Maths: At least 2 and at most 5 optional Mathematics modules are to be chosen from the overall list of modules which are made available.
Up to two Maths options may be taken from MATH50000 modules that were not already taken in JMC Year 2.
The Maths optional module MATH50017 Analysis 2 subsumes the MATH50001 Analysis 2 for JMC module, so it is not possible to take both modules.
Similarly, The Maths optional module MATH50004 Multivariable Calculus and and Differential Equations subsumes the MATH50015 Multivariable Calculus for JMC module, so it is not possible to take both modules.

External: One option in JMC BEng Year 3 may be an external module offered by the Imperial College Business School, the Humanities Department or another Engineering department.

Credit

Each module contributes the following weight towards the year total:

Degree Requirements

In order to pass JMC BEng Year 3 and qualify for Honours, the candidate must satisfy the following conditions:

1. Achieved at least 40% in individual project
2. Achieved at least 40% overall for the final year

List of modules

A full list of the Third Year Autumn, Spring and Summer Term modules can be viewed on our Joint Maths and Computing (MEng) third year webpage.

Regulations

JMC MEng Year 3 consists of 8 selected modules, as well as a compulsory group project (COMP60021) in Computing and a compulsory industrial placement organised in Computing.

Computing: At least 2 and at most 6 optional Computing modules are to be chosen from the overall list of modules which are made available (this selection does not include the group project). One Computing option may be Models of Computation (COMP50003) if this module was not already taken in JMC Year 2.

Maths: At least 2 and at most 6 optional Maths modules are to be chosen from the overall list of modules which are made available.
Up to two Maths options may be taken from MATH50000 modules that were not already taken in JMC Year 2.
The Maths optional module MATH50017 Analysis 2 subsumes the MATH50001 Analysis 2 for JMC module, so it is not possible to take both modules.
Similarly, The Maths optional module MATH50004 Multivariable Calculus and and Differential Equations subsumes the MATH50015 Multivariable Calculus for JMC module, so it is not possible to take both modules.
Important - MATH60000 modules that also exist as MATH70000 equivalents and are taken in JMC MEng Year 3 cannot also be taken as MATH70000 modules in JMC MEng Year 4.

External: One option in JMC MEng Year 3 may be an external module offered by the Imperial College Business School or the Humanities Department, or another Engineering department. Only one Humanities Department module may be taken for credit during the whole course.

Placement: The JMC industrial placement will run from June to September (typically the 2nd week of June to the 4th week of September).

Credit

Each module contributes the following weight towards the year total:

Progression Requirements

In order to pass JMC MEng Year 3 and qualify for JMC MEng Year 4, the candidate must satisfy the following conditions:

1. Achieved at least 40% in the Group project
2. Achieved at least 40% overall for the year

Failure in the group project component of the course (Autumn Term of JMC MEng Year 3) will ordinarily lead to discussion about transfer to the JMC BEng degree for the remainder of JMC Year 3.
