Course Modules

The M.Sc. in HPC comprises a total of 90 ECTS in a one year course. \ To complete your M.Sc. studies, you should take a total of 60 ECTS of coursework plus 30 ECTS for a final M.Sc. project. \ Many modules will have a written exam in the summer examination period. Most modules include some amount of continuous assessment. Students are expected to be familiar with College regulations. \ The College Calendar (Part 2) details the regulations for the programme. It states: The pass mark for all elements is 50%. To be awarded the M.Sc. students must achieve a pass in the dissertation, have an overall average mark for the course of at least 50% and pass core and optional modules amounting to at least 50 credits and achieve a minimum of 40% in any failed modules. The M.Sc. with distinction may be awarded to students who pass all modules and achieve at least 70% both in the overall mark for the course and in the dissertation.
