The Faculty Board of Engineering gives notice that the modules prescribed for examination in 2024–25, and the mode of examination for each module, will be as listed below.
For all modules below the mode of assessment is examination only.
Conditions for candidates: candidates must offer ten modules for examination; candidates may offer only one module from any one of the sets. Students must take at least one, but not more than two, modules from Group E ‘Management and Manufacturing’. Candidates are advised to take note of the conditions of exemption which are set by the professional engineering institutions that accredit the course: https://teaching.eng.cam.ac.uk/content/accreditation-meng#coe.
