These degree programme requirements relate to undergraduate programmes
in the College of Science and Engineering. They are additional to, and
should be read in conjunction with, the General Undergraduate Degree Regulations,
in Section B, which apply to all undergraduate programmes.
Throughout these requirements, the Head of College is referred to as
having the authority to grant permissions, concessions and exemptions.
This authority is in practice often delegated by the Head of College to
appropriate nominees in the College or Schools. It is vital that students
consult their Director of Studies as to the appropriate point of contact,
and do not approach the Head of College in the first instance.
Every undergraduate student in the College of Science and Engineering
must comply with these requirements. In exceptional circumstances a concession
to allow relaxation of a specific requirement may be granted by the Head
of College, or his/her nominee.
Students are particularly directed to:
- The appropriate Degree Programme Table in this Section
for details of the structure of their programme.
- The School Schedules of Courses in Section F for
information on courses and options and any pre-requisite, co-requisite
or prohibited combinations of courses that apply.
- The Course Catalogue in Section G for descriptions
of the content of pre-Honours courses.

To qualify for the award of the BSc Ordinary Degree in a Designated
Discipline students must have obtained 360 credit points from passes
(or accreditation of prior learning, acceptable under General Undergraduate
Regulation 11). The overall curriculum must include at least: 240
credit points in courses listed in the Science and Engineering Schedules
K-Q and from subject areas Language Sciences and Psychology in Schedule

The BSc Ordinary Degree is awarded in designated disciplines corresponding
to every BSc or BEng Honours degree, and with the same titles save
that the Ordinary degrees in the designated disciplines of Biological
Sciences, Chemical Sciences (i.e. all degrees in the School of Chemistry
except those with Industrial Experience), Chemical Sciences with Industrial
Experience (i.e. all degrees in the School of Chemistry with Industrial
Experience) and Ecological Science do not refer to subject specialisations.
The courses at SCQF level 9 or 10 available for each designated discipline
are the compulsory or optional courses in the relevant subject area
as indicated in ‘Normal Year Taken’ (NYT) 3 and 4 of the
Honours Degree Programme Table, subject to further restrictions and
recommendations that may appear in the appropriate School Programme
Guide. |
| 5. |
In the case of Combined Degree programmes, the Examiners will recommend
the award of the BSc Ordinary Degree in single (see requirement 4
above) or combined disciplines in order to best reflect the achievements
of the individual student. |
| 6. |
A student for the BSc with Honours, MChem with Honours, MChemPhys
with Honours or MPhys with Honours who has failed to be placed in
any class may be recommended by the Examiners for the Ordinary Degree
in the appropriate designated discipline if the student satisfies
the requirements of requirement 3 above. |
| Study at Another Institution
|
| 7. |
A student for an Honours degree is not allowed to substitute study
at another institution for the final year of his/her Honours programme.
|
| Transitional Arrangements |
| 8. |
Students for the MChem with Honours, MChemPhys with Honours,
MEng with Honours or MPhys with Honours entering the final year
of study in 2005/2006 will continue to be governed by regulations
which reflect those set out in the 2003/2004 University Calendar
and which will be fully explained in the appropriate School Programme
Guide (for example, as regards course weightings for classification). |
