Third Year (BEng) Courses and Regulations
List of courses
Autumn, spring and summer courses can be viewed on our Computing third year (BEng) webpage. Students select five courses from an approved list of electives. In addition, students need to take an I-Explore module as a requirement.
Coursework
Each lecture course has associated coursework. The weighting is normally 20%, although for some more practical courses the weighting is 30%. The courses with 30% are: COMP60019, and COMP70050 while COMP60003 has separate assessment criteria. The rest is assessed by written examination.
Projects
Students participate in a group project in the first term and an individual project which spans the whole academic year.

Classification for BEng
The marks for all components of the three years of the course are aggregated into an overall mark. The class of degree awarded depends on this overall mark, with the proviso that you must have passed all modules in year 3 and normally at least 40% in their individual project.
In addition to these requirements, candidates are normally expected to successfully complete the BEng degree programme in three continuous years.
For each year, the total possible ECTS weightings are:
