 Out of school modules – Important Note

If you are taking an Out-of-School optional module, you need prior

written agreement with the course convenor and with the year 3 lead for
the MEng (Kishen Rengaraj).

Consider the following departments: mathematics (some modules

available specifically for engineers), business school (a number of
modules are appropriate - see separate list), or language school (level to
be determined by agreement with the module convenor).

Overall, you must have 100 credits at level 3 or above in year 3.
