The Degree Committee for the Faculty of Computer Science and Technology also give notice of the form of the evaluation of the Research Skills programme for 2014–15. Students must accumulate a minimum of twelve credits from mandatory and optional sessions. The mode of delivery and work required for each session will vary, and therefore the associated credit available for each session will be made available to students together with a statement of the work required. Students will be required to submit a portfolio of coursework in the third week of June which records the sessions attended and provides evidence of the work completed for each session.
The Degree Committee for the Faculty of Computer Science and Technology reserve the right to withdraw any module should fewer than five students enrolled on the M.Phil. Degree in Advanced Computer Science elect to study them. To satisfy timetabling, resourcing, or other constraints, the Faculty Board may impose a cap on the numbers of students from any particular course who may take a particular module. Candidates may not offer more than one Special topic for examination.
