Before proceeding to Level 3, a student for the Degree of MEng in Biomaterials Science and Engineering (MATU36) must achieve a weighted mean grade of 60 at Level 2. A student who fails to meet this requirement may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Biomaterials Science and Engineering (MATU37).

Students commencing Level 2 of a programme of study from session 2012-13 onwards must take FCE2001 Interdisciplinary Project Week/Achieve More Project as a core module. A student will be expected to pass the module in order to progress to Level 3. A student must pass the module in order to graduate.
