The normal load is 120 CATS credits. Candidates for honours are required to take eight core modules and 30 CATS credits selected from the lists of optional modules below.

In order to progress to the third year students on the Computing Systems MEng course are required to obtain an upper second class honours classification
in the second year. Students who fail to do this will transfer to the third year of the BSc.

Second Year Pass Degree Modules

Candidates for pass degrees are required to take the eight core modules (90 CATS credits) and 15 CATS credits selected from the lists of optional modules.
Loads in excess of 105 CATS credits must be discussed with personal tutors and be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Subject to the approval of the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Computer Science, the total load may be increased up to a maximum of 120 CATS credits

Preparatory to Third Year Project

In the summer term of the second year Computing Systems students are required to select the project which they will pursue in the third year of their studies.
