Continuing Students: Pre-register your course choices
Continuing students currently in year 2, 3, 4 (MInf) can pre-register their course choices for the following session via PATH from May until the 1st August 2022.
PATH
The Informatics Teaching Organisation will register your pre-registered course choices on EUCLID from August 2022 in advance of the start of semester.
We hope that pre-registration will be helpful to speed up the process of course registration for continuing students, allowing tutorial and lab group allocation to take place in good time for the start of the new session.
Informatics course registration from August 2022.
Course registration in PATH will re-open in August 2022.
The deadline for course registration is the end of week 2 Semester 1, Friday 30th September 2022.
Semester 2 course choices can be changed until week 2 of Semester 2.

It is your responsibility to check that you have chosen an appropriate set of courses (equalling the correct number of points and accessible via the course timetable) to meet your degree requirements .

Course Changes
Although you must select courses for both Semester 1 and Semester 2, please note that these choices are not binding at this stage, but allow us to ensure that all class, email and exam lists are as up-to-date as possible. You may amend your course selection at any point up to the deadline, and there is another opportunity at the start of Semester 2 to amend your second semester courses.
Requests to change course selection after this date should be discussed with your Personal Tutor. Any course changes requested after Week 4 will need the permission of the Lecturer and the School Curriculum Approval Officer. You cannot change your course enrolment choices after week 6 of the semester.
Note that the Informatics Teaching Organisation should be informed of any late course changes so they can liaise with Examinations in an attempt to minimise examination timetable conflicts.
Course Surveys
Each year we ask students to complete course surveys to gather information on best practice and for future improvements. Course survey results from last year are published at the following link, along with lecturer responses and actions taken. This information can be useful when making your decision on which course to take as part of your degree programme:
