Throughout this course you’ll attend a mixture of lecturers, seminars, tutorials and practical sessions. You’ll also be required to engage in a lot of independent study.

Outside class contact time you’ll work on tutorial sheets, project work, e-learning materials and any assignments that have been set. These are designed to test your understanding and guide further learning.

Most modules will be assessed by an end of year examination. You’ll also regularly be asked to complete assignments. These might take the form of problem sheets to reinforce your knowledge of the material taught in lectures, computer-based assignments to tackle problems that require more extensive calculation, and individual and group project work which will allow you to explore a particular topic in depth.

For most modules the weighting is 30% coursework and 70% examination, but some modules differ (for example, the optional final year project is 100% coursework).

You’ll have the opportunity to undertake an optional 48-week placement in industry in-between your second and third years, enabling you to gain vital work experience.

We also offer a third-year teaching placement module (Undergraduate Ambassador Scheme – UAS) providing the opportunity for you to get a taste of teaching.

Each summer there are opportunities to take part in the University’s funded undergraduate internship scheme. This involves being paid to spend the summer working closely with a member of staff on a research project. By taking on this opportunity you’ll experience what it’s like to undertake cutting-edge research as you develop a variety of skills which will be highly valued by future employers. At the end of the internship you’ll present your work through a poster session.
