The Student Handbook for Computing 2011-12 contains a wealth of information to inform, guide and support you through your programme of study in the Faculty of Computing and Engineering. On the menu on the left you will see four main sections:

Faculty Information: a short introduction to the Faculty of Computing and Engineering. It includes as welcome message from the Dean, an overview of the Faculty teaching departments plus some contact details.

Campus Selection: depending on your location of study, you can use this section to navigate to specific information about your department (School). This includes programme and contact information.

Programme Information: here you will find a list of all the main computing programmes offered by the Faculty. For each programme, there is a link to a detailed programme handbook prepared by your Course Director. This is an important document as it includes information such as the aims and intended outcomes of your course, names of the course committee members and the regulations which govern your assessment and progression on the course. You will see that the relevant programme handbook depends on your year of entry.

Student Information: this section is a comprehensive collection of important and useful information on many aspects of student life in the Faculty. Do acquaint yourself with the material it contains - topics include the range of teaching and assessment methods used in the Faculty, rules for examinations, general study tips plus important advice on various aspects of student behavior.

An important document which complements this subject handbook is the University's Student Handbook which contains information on enrolment procedures and general information about the University.

Finally, some important disclaimer and retention of information formalities are outlined below.

If you have any queries about information in this handbook, contact your Studies Adviser or Course Director for help and advice.

Disclaimer

Details of the course are set out in this Handbook. The University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the course in accordance with this description. However the University does not provide education on a commercial basis and is largely dependent on public and charitable funds, which the University has to manage in a way which is efficient and cost-effective, in the context of the provision of a diverse range of programmes to a large number of students. The University therefore reserves the right to make variations in the content or method of delivery or assessment or other changes if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University in the context of its wider purposes. The University cannot guarantee complete success in placements being secured for all students.

Retention of Information

You are advised that you should retain this Handbook and associated module handbooks for future reference. You may be asked to provide documentary evidence of modules taken and their content by potential employers or in connection with an application to undertake further study. The University can provide such details from its records, but will make a charge to cover the costs involved in conducting searches and supplying information.
