Proposal for a New Programme
This form
is available for downloading from admin/ar/templates/new_prog - spaces can be
expanded as required.
This proposal is in
Strategic Phase
Operational
Phase
|
1. Name of Department and Departmental contact Physics, Dr G M
Swallowe |
|
2. Award and Title of proposed new programme (see * below) MPhys in Engineering
Physics |
|
3. Month and Year of first intake to the
programme Sept/Oct 2005 Will the programme be offered as: full-time part-time full-time
and part-time |
|
4. If the proposed new programme is a revised
version of an existing programme, state how this will be phased in, i.e. -
year(s) that Parts B, C, D will commence; pathway for students currently on
placement/leave of absence and resit students. The BSc programme will continue. However, students on the BSc programme in
Physics or Engineering Physics or the MPhys programme in Physics have the
opportunity to transfer to the MPhys programme in Engineering Physics before
the start of Part C. |
|
5. List the numbers of any new modules
proposed. |
|
6. Is it intended that any modules will be
available by full/partial Distance Learning? Yes No Is it intended that the programme will
be fully Distance Learning? Yes No Guidelines on full/partial DL provision are available on
the intranet at: https://internal.lboro.ac.uk/admin/registry/uniwide/ |
|
7. Reasons for the proposal: its purpose and
relevance; how it will enhance calibre of teaching and learning; implications
for existing programmes and modules in the department (see * below) The programme is intended to give
students a solid grounding in physics and aspects of one or more engineering
disciplines. The programme will benefit from the range and strength of the
Engineering Faculty. Students will be
able to build on their knowledge by taking engineering modules in all four
years of study, drawing on Part D modules from MEng Engineering programmes,
as well as modules designed for the MPhys Physics programme. |
|
8. Expected student numbers About 5 |
|
9. Staffing implications - adequacy of
existing departmental resources; net increase/reduction in staff teaching
effort or demands on support staff No extra resources required. |
|
10. Additional Library requirements Possible need for a small number of extra
copies of recommended texts. |
|
11. Additional Computing Support required NONE Network/Software (please elaborate): |
|
12. Other resource implications, e.g. - lecture room,
lab and other space requirements; equipment, materials; timetabling
constraints (block-teaching for example); any special residential
requirements No other resource implications. |
|
13. Implications for other departments both
providing and receiving MPhys students may take a wider range of
Engineering modules than BSc students; this will require liaison with the
providing departments. |
|
14. Evidence of demand and suitability; views of
lecturers; current/prospective students; external examiners/ assessors,
professional/industrial bodies etc. The proposal was first discussed in a
meeting of the Physics Staff Student Committee on 24 May 2000, and was
commended by the Periodic Programme Review for Physics on 8 May 2003. All current undergraduates were surveyed
by email on 5 March 2004. Three
replied about the Engineering Physics programme, all positively. Two, currently in their industrial
placement, would like to transfer to the MPhys programme if possible. The forthcoming IOP accreditation visit on 27 April 2004 will provide an opportunity for feedback from a professional body. External Examiners will be contacted shortly. |
|
15. Implications for employability The programme will enable students to
progress to research in applied physics or R & D in industry. |
|
16. Any other relevant information |
*..... A department proposing a group of
new programmes/titles with a higher proportion of common modules, or proposing
to add a new programme/title to an existing group of this kind, should produce
information clearly defining the award pathways and justify the differentiation
of the award titles. Proposals of this
type should be flagged up during the strategic phase, bearing in mind that the
case may be driven by non-pedagogic issues (such as marketing, recruitment or
administration).

Choose
modules from those listed here and from available engineering modules to give a
total modular weight of 40. In Part C,
students must take a total modular weight of 120, which must include a
combination of engineering modules totalling a modular weight of at least 40.

may also take any Part C or Part D modules that they have not already taken and
that are listed as Additional Modules in Part C of the programme or included as
available engineering modules. Students
who did not take PHC112 in Part C must take it in Part D.

3. Assessment
Criteria for
Progression and Degree Award
Candidates
must achieve the minimum credit requirements set out in the General Regulations for Undergraduate Awards (GRUA) in order to progress through the
programme and qualify for the award of the degree.
To progress
from Part A to Part B, all candidates must also achieve a minimum mark of 30%
in all modules listed as compulsory modules.
MPhys
candidates must, in addition, satisfy the following criteria:
(1) In order to progress from Part B to Part
C, a mark of at least 30% must be achieved in all modules and the overall
average mark must be at least 50%.
(2) In order to progress from Part C to Part
D, MPhys candidates must achieve at least 100 credits from degree level modules
taken in Part C. A mark of at least 30%
must be achieved in all modules.
Relative
Weighting of Parts of the Programme for the purposes of Final Degree
Classification
Candidates'
final degree classification will be determined on the basis of their
performance in degree level Module Assessments in Parts B and C (and D for
MPhys candidates), in accordance with the scheme set out in GRUA. The average percentage marks for each Part
will be combined in the ratio specified in the following table
|
BSc
candidates |
Part B :
Part C |
40 : 60 |
|
MPhys
candidates |
Part B :
Part C : Part D |
20 : 40 : 40 |
to determine the overall average
percentage mark for the Programme (the Programme Mark).
Re-assessment
Provision will
be made in accordance with GRUA for those candidates who have the right of
re-assessment in Part A or Part B of these programmes to undergo re-assessment
in the University's special assessment period.
The same provision will be made for candidates who have the right of
re-assessment in Part C of the MPhys programmes.
MPhys candidates
who fail, after any re-assessment, at the end of Part C or Part D
At
the discretion of the Programme Board any such candidate who has satisfied the
credit requirements for BSc Physics may be awarded that degree, the
classification being based on the average marks obtained in Parts B and C in
exactly the same way as for the BSc degree.
