Year 4
Academic year: 2021/22,
Starting in: August
Notes:
Before making your course choices, make sure you have discussed them with your Personal Tutor.
These lists include courses at level 10 (code INFR10xxx) and level 11 (code INFR11xxx). In general, level 11 courses will contain more advanced material and be taught at a higher level than level 10 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.
Sometimes a course may appear on more than one list, if it relates to multiple subject areas: where this happens you can still only select that course once.
Students who are members of Edinburgh University Formula Student and have not taken Informatics Experiential Learning (Level 10) in Year 3 may request a concession from the School Curriculum Approval Officer to replace any 20 credits of Informatics courses in the DPT with IEL-10. Approval will require written permission from the IEL-10 tutor confirming your eligibility for that course. This option is not available to students whose honours project is already based on their work with Edinburgh University Formula Student.
