Students must meet with the Programme Director in order to establish which study pattern they should follow, according to their academic and industry background. Elective units are available subject to timetabling constraints.
| Unit name | Unit code | Credit points | Status | Teaching Block |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematical and Data Modelling | EMATM0037 | 10 | Mandatory | TB-2 |

| Prescribed, preliminary units: | ||||
| All students must complete 30 credits of prescribed, preliminary units. Preliminary units are grouped by 'strand' depending on your undergraduate study background and/or industrial experience and must be agreed in advance with the Programme Director, prior to unit selection deadlines. Students with a Mathematical and Statistical background must complete EMATM0044 and EMAT20920 or EMATM0044 and EMAT30008. Students with an Engineering background must complete EMATM30007 and EMAT30012, and ONE from EMAT33100/EMAT30670/EMAT30010. Students with a Computational Science background must complete EMATM30007 and EMAT30010, and ONE from EMAT30012/EMAT33100/EMAT20920/EMAT30008. The programme director may suggest alternative unit enrolment for students who can demonstrate prior learning, even within their designated strand (for example, EMATM0044/EMAT30670). | ||||

The pass mark set by the University for any level 7(M) unit is 50 out of 100.
For detailed rules on progression please see the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes and the relevant faculty handbook.
All taught masters programmes, unless exempted by Senate, must allow the opportunity for students to exit from the programme with a postgraduate diploma or certificate.
To be awarded a postgraduate diploma, students must have successfully completed 120 credit points, of which 90 must be at level M/7.
To be awarded a postgraduate certificate, students must have successfully completed 60 credit points, of which 40 must be at level M/7.
An award with Merit or Distinction is permitted for postgraduate taught masters, diplomas and certificates, where these are specifically named entry-level qualifications. An award with Merit or Distinction is not permitted for exit awards where students are required to exit the programme on academic grounds. An exit award with Merit or Distinction may be permitted where students are prevented by exceptional circumstances from completing the intended award.
The classification of the award in relation to the final programme mark is as follows:
Award with Distinction*: at least 65 out of 100 for the taught component overall and, for masters awards, at least 70 out of 100 for the dissertation. **Faculties retain discretion to increase these thresholds.
Award with Merit*: at least 60 out of 100 for the taught component overall and, for masters awards, at least 60 out of 100 for the dissertation. Faculties retain discretion to increase these thresholds.
* The MA in Law has separate regulations for awarding distinction and merit.
** For the award of Distinction, the Faculty of Engineering requires at least 70 out of 100 for the taught component overall and, for masters awards, at least 70 out of 100 for the dissertation.
All taught masters programmes, unless exempted by Senate, must allow the opportunity for students to choose, or be required, to leave at the postgraduate diploma or certificate stage.
To be awarded a postgraduate diploma, students must have successfully completed 120 credit points, of which 90 must be at level M/7.
To be awarded a postgraduate certificate, students must have successfully completed 60 credit points, of which 40 must be at level M/7.
Progression to the dissertation stage is normally only permitted on the satisfactory completion of the taught component
