A student must satisfy the requirements of the General Regulations for First Degrees as to progression in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MEng in Microelectronics with Study Year Abroad (EEEU62). A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Electronic Engineering (EEEU05).

Year 3

Core These are a compulsory part of your degree: you cannot change them. units (120 credits)

A student will take

Full academic year
NUL3946	Study Abroad	ACAD YR	120 credits

A student will undertake a period of study abroad of 1 academic year. Individual units are taken at the partner university for the year and are chosen to firstly; cover the core material of the equivalent year at the University of Sheffield (UoS), and secondly; to prepare the student for study in the following year of the student's degree programme at UoS.

A student will be responsible for securing a suitable placement in a University overseas in order to take the study abroad year. The placement and course of study will be subject to the approval of the Head of Department. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the Degree of MEng Microelectronics (EEEU10).

The marks obtained in the units taken during the study abroad year will be converted to an equivalent University of Sheffield grade, the conversion being approved by the Board of Examiners.

A student must pass EEE461 (Year 4 Individual Project) at the first attempt in order to be eligible for the award of the Degree of MEng in Microelectronics with Study Year Abroad. A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be awarded the Degree of BEng in Electronic Engineering (EEEU05) but will be ineligible for the award of the Degree with Honours.

The marks obtained from studies at level 2, 3, and 4 for the Degree of Microelectronics with Study Year Abroad will be combined in the ratios 1:1:2, respectively to yield an overall mark consistent with Method 1 for the purpose of determining degree classification.
