Module coursework

Students are expected to make all reasonable efforts to complete any missed coursework, normally during the term in which the module is taught or the following vacation. Deadline extensions can be requested using the online form . Please see the full department policy on deadline extensions for further details.

Work for which an extension has been approved is due at the same time of day as the original deadline, usually 4pm.

Projects

Students unable, for one of the reasons given in the department policy , to give their presentations at the scheduled times should notify their project supervisor and group project coordinator as soon as possible. Students will be asked to join another group, or a one-off presentation may be arranged. Permission from the teaching office is not required for such re-arrangement if agreed by supervisor and group project coordinator. A student experiencing difficulties that cannot be resolved via their supervisor and/or group project coordinator should contact the teaching office for advice.

Notwithstanding the above, final project presentations must have occurred before Wednesday of week 6. It is not possible to delay final project presentations beyond this point due to the requirement to ensure that marks are available in time for examiners to class candidates.

Extensions to the technical milestone report deadline will be permitted in accordance with the department policy on extensions.

Extensions to the final MEng project report deadline are very limited as deadlines for marking and assessment of this activity are very tight. The examiners are not able to accommodate a deadline extension of more than 3 days due to the need to mark and class candidates. As this project runs over the entire year it is expected that there will be very limited circumstances where a short deadline extension is relevant. Extensions of over 3 days will not, therefore, be available via the department extension process. Should a student obtain approval for an extension of more than 3 days from EAMC the examiners would not be able to class the candidate in time for General Admission.

Failure to submit any project reports for assessment will be treated in the same way as a missed examination: zero marks awarded. Please note that the EAMC's guidelines suggest that they would be unlikely to propose classing a candidate who does not submit a final project report, given it amounts to 50% of the year's work.

Penalties will be applied, where no extension is granted,  for each day that a report is late. The final report will not be accepted if more than three days late.

Penalties will be applied for infringement of the rules concerning report length.
