Informatics Fourth Year Honours Course Guide
List of courses.

This section takes you to links for UG4 course descriptors (and from there to course homepages). Course descriptors contain information about pre-requisites, organisational details, aims, syllabus, methods of assessment, intended learning outcomes and a reading list. Course homepages provide further information as well as material made available during the semester. Some courses also have a version for the M.Sc. programme and are likely to share the same lectures but vary in the assessment.

Nearly all courses allocate about 75% of the course marks for the examination paper and 25% of the module marks to the coursework although this division may vary by ±5%. The exceptions are courses based on practical work, e.g., the System Level Integration Practical allocates 100% of the marks to the practical work.

Subject to some conditions students may take courses at level 11 (i.e., MSc level).

Each UG4 course is allocated a subject area (Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science). This is indicated in a separate column in the complete list of Informatics courses (see link below). It is possible for a course to be allocated to more than one subject area, in which case you can count it in which ever way you prefer in order to satisfy the regulations of your degree. Such a course has two entries in the list (one for the subject area Computer Science and one for Artificial Intelligence), however there is is only one actual course.

In the list of courses the ones relevant to UG4 have "4" under "Normal Year Taken". The link below takes you to a table with sortable columns (just click on the heading of the appropriate column).
