For students commencing Year 1 of a programme of study before September 2022: A student must pass MEC464 (Individual Project) at the first attempt in order to be eligible for the award of the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics (MECU023). A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002).

 

6

For students commencing Year 1 of a programme of study in or after September 2022: A student must pass MEC464 (Individual Project) at the first attempt in order to be eligible for the award of the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics (MECU023). A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering Studies or the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002).

 

7

For all students: A student must satisfy the requirements of the General Regulations for First Degrees in the Faculty of Engineering as to progression in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics (MECU023). A student who fails to satisfy these requirements, or chooses to withdraw from the University at Level 3, may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002).

8

For all students: Students wishing to be considered instead for the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002) must pass at the first attempt MEC315 Individual Project, MEC329 Additional Individual Project or, if they have previously completed MEC307 Group Design Project, MEC331 Individual Extension to Group Design Project.

9

For students commencing Year 1 of a programme of study in or after September 2022: A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2, 3 and 4 will be permitted an additional resit attempt in the compensated credits. An additional resit attempt can only be granted where the student has met the requirements for progression (or completion) under the General Regulations for First Degrees.

10

For students commencing Year 1 of a programme of study in or after September 2022: A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2, 3 and 4, where the grade achieved is more than 10% below the pass grade in those failed units, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.

11

For students commencing Year 1 of a programme of study in or after September 2022: A student who has been awarded more than 30 credits in compensation of failed units across Years 1, 2, 3 and 4, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.

12

For students commencing Year 1 of a programme of study in or after September 2022: Where a student has met the requirements for the award of a degree under the General Regulations for First Degrees but not the requirements for the award of a degree accredited under Engineering Council rules, they may be recommended for the award of a MEng Degree in Mechanical Engineering Studies.
