Course Modules
To complete your M.Sc. studies, you should take a total of 60 ECTS units of coursework plus a project (30 ECTS) making a total of 90 ECTS. 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.
