Before making your course choices, make sure you have discussed them with your Personal Tutor.

These lists include courses at level 9 (code INFR09xxx) and level 10 (code INFR10xxx). In general, level 10 courses will contain more advanced material and be taught at a higher level than level 9 courses; you should take account of this when planning your course combination. Each entry links to a matching page in the University course catalogue, where you can find a description of the course content and information about any specific entry requirements.

The Research in Management course is compulsory for students who plan to choose the Management Honours Dissertation in 4th Year.

Students seeking BCS accreditation must select Professional Issues (Level 10), normally in 3rd Year, and must also select the Informatics Honours Project in 4th Year.
