The MRes is an exit point from the PhD in Quantum Engineering and may be awarded to students who leave the PhD following successful completion of the first year of study, comprising the mandatory units outlined below.
Students who have already taken the existing quantum information theory unit (MATHM5610) will be required to choose another 10cp unit in place of Advanced Quantum Information Theory, subject to approval by the QE-CDT.

The assessment of the taught component of a doctoral degree is governed by the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes and is assessed separately from the research project. Progression to the research project may be dependent on the successful completion of the taught component - please refer to the relevant handbook for the structure of the particular programme.
The pass mark set by the University for any level 7(M) unit is 50 out of 100.
It may be possible to exit the programme with a taught award. For detailed rules on progression please see the Regulations and Code of Practice for Research Programmes and the relevant faculty handbook.
