Part IIA project guide - organisation

Each project has a project leader who is responsible for its organisation, running and assessment. Most projects will use a Moodle course to provide documentation, and many use electronic submission for reports. Project leaders will confirm arrangements and deadlines for report submission at the first (compulsory) session.

Part II engineering options

In Easter term, all second year students will be required to indicate their third year course preference (eg IIA, MET IIA, CSP, NUS) and to make a provisional choice of Part IIA modules by the end of Easter Full Term. Those students continuing to IIA will be able to change their module selection at the start of the following Michaelmas and Lent terms.  Note: Students planning to take MET or go on an exchange also need to choose a set of IIA modules as their 'back-up' option.

Full details can be found in the Part IIA Options document.
