Year 5 overview

Year 5 (UG5) refers to the 5th year of undergraduate students on the MInf degree programme.  

The MInf degree programme table (DPT) is the ultimate guide for UG5 students; it outlines what they ought to do in terms of courses and project. Briefly, UG5 students need to take courses worth 80 credit points with the other 40 points coming from the MInf Project Part 2 (MIP2). Note that UG5 students are allowed to take only Level 11 courses. Of the 80 credit points on courses that is required, at least 70 points should come from Informatics Level 11 courses (from among those listed in the MInf DPT); up to 10 credit points of that requirement can be met from an external Level 11 course.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the courses you have selected meet with the requirements of your degree.
