AND

These are courses in all schools other than Medicine, Veterinary Studies, or the Centre for Open Learning, and include courses normally taken by 4th-year students. In the case that this DPT option is chosen, you are advised to obtain permission to take the course from the course organiser, and have the course choice approved by your personal tutor.

Year 4 Academic year: 2021/22, Starting in: August

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.

You may choose an Honours Project from either Informatics or Management Science.

Note that Research in Management, taken in 3rd Year, is a pre-requisite to the Management Science Honours Project.

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.
