Course Modules
The M.Sc. in HPC comprises a total of 90 ECTS in a one year course.
To complete your M.Sc. studies, you should take a total of 60 ECTS of coursework plus 30 ECTS for a final M.Sc. project.
Many modules will have a written exam in the summer examination period.
Most modules include some amount of continuous assessment. Students are
expected to be familiar with College regulations.
The College Calendar (Part 2)
details the regulations for the programme. It states: The pass mark for all
elements is 50%. To be awarded the M.Sc. students must achieve a pass in the
dissertation, have an overall average mark for the course of at least 50% and
pass core and optional modules amounting to at least 50 credits and achieve a
minimum of 40% in any failed modules. The M.Sc. with distinction may be awarded
to students who pass all modules and achieve at least 70% both in the overall
mark for the course and in the dissertation.
