Curriculum Sub-Committee

Subject: Use of Part C Modules in Part D of extended undergraduate programmes

Origin: Unconfirmed Minutes of Learning and Teaching Committee on 3 June 2004

Curriculum Sub-Committee had asked for a decision from LTC on the weighting of C modules permissible in Part D, following consideration of proposals for new MPhys programmes in Physics and Mathematics and in Engineering Physics. The Committee considered a recommendation from the PDQ Team that no more than 20 C-level credits should be permitted. It was noted that Physics had already amended its new MPhys programme proposals to comply.

It was RESOLVED to RECOMMEND to Senate accordingly.

It was noted that some other programmes might be out of step with the recommendation and agreed that departments should be given until the start of session 2005/06 to comply.
