Course Information

Some key dates for the 2011/2012 academic year can be found here. The first semester starts on the 5th September and finishes on the 15th of January.  The second semester starts on the 16th of January and finishes on the 13th of May. Most modules will have 2 lectures per week.

Over the year you should take 9 modules (45 credits) with the remaining credits being allocated to the project. As a general rule, you should try to take five modules in the first semester and four in the second. Also, you should think about the number of modules that you take which are heavily reliant on coursework. You will start working on your project from first Semester. You should also be aware that your final year project is worth 15 credits (equivalent of 3 modules). Submission of these projects and the presentations will take place during the study period in March 2012. To get a good mark, it is very important that you begin working on the project as soon as possible and keep in regular contact with your supervisor.
