Students on the 2nd year of the Computer Science programme take 7 compulsory modules (each with a credit value of 0.5) and 1 elective module.  The elective should normally follow on from the one taken in Year 1. If it is in a new subject area, the elective must be at the appropriate level. You may take no more than 1 credit at basic/introductory level during your programme. Details of option choices outside CS are maintained by other academic departments. If in doubt, check with the relevant department for availability, pre-requisites, and timetabling details.

Note: Students on the MEng Computer Science International Programme also have to complete Preparation for Study Abroad.
