3P1.	Materials into products
3P2.	Operation and control of production machines and systems
3P3.	Product design
3P4.	Operations management
3P5.	Industrial engineering
3P6.	Organizational behaviour
3P7.	Managing business and people
3P8.	Financial and management accounting

Examination in Computational Biology for the M.Phil. Degree, 2018–19

The Degree Committee for the Faculty of Mathematics gives notice that the modules available to candidates studying the one-year course in Computational Biology for the degree of Master of Philosophy Statutes and Ordinances, p. 516) in the academical year 2018–19, and their methods of assessment, are as set out below. Candidates for the degree must offer all modules for examination unless otherwise stated.

Term offered	Module	Abbreviation
Michaelmas	Functional genomics	FG
	Genome informatics	GI
	Scientific programming	SP
	Genome sequence analysis (half module)	GSA
Lent	Cancer evolution	CE
	Computational neuroscience	CN
	Population genetic analysis of genomic data	PG
	Biological imaging and analysis (half module)	BI
Easter	Systems biology	SB

Each module for this course is assessed by no more than two or three coursework assignments, each involving an element of computational or theoretical work. The expected maximum submission length for each piece of work is twenty pages, excluding any appendices.

In addition to the offered modules, students sit a two-hour general examination in the Easter Term on the material taught within the modules.

Students are also required to complete an internship project which is assessed by a report of no more than 15,000 words and a presentation.

The weighting for the examination in Computational Biology is out of 12, divided as follows: each module is weighted at 1, and half modules at 0.5, meaning a total weighting of 8 for the modules. The general examination is weighted at 1. The internship project is weighted at a total of 3, with 2.5 for the report and 0.5 for the presentation.
