Advice for research students wishing to attend taught courses.

Taught course registration process for Informatics PGR research students

MSc by Research (not CDT students in their MSc by Research year), MPhil or PhD students, who are registered on an Informatics PGR programme, and who who wish to register for undergraduate or MSc taught courses must follow the School procedure and University regulations as below. 

The student should consider what Study Mode they wish to take the course as:

(a)  “Class-only” - This permits the student to attend lectures but not any additional activities, e.g. labs, tutorials, demonstrations. The student does not sit assessment and does not receive credit for the course.  This Study Mode requires permission from the Principal Supervisor and course lecturer only. Class-Only is sometimes called "Auditing".

(b)   “Classes & assessment excluding centrally arranged exam” - This permits the student to attend lectures and additional activities (e.g. labs, tutorials, etc.). The student can also undertake coursework assessment (no centrally-arranged exam) which may include essays, tutorial participation, oral presentations, practical, lab work etc. This Study Mode requires permission from the Principal Supervisor, course lecturer and the College Office; or,

(c) “Classes & assessment including centrally arranged exam” - This permits the student to attend lectures and additional activities (e.g. labs, tutorials, etc.).The student also takes all assessment including coursework and centrally arranged exams. This Study Mode requires permission from the Principal Supervisor, course lecturer and the College Office.  

 

 

Things to note

  • PGR students from Schools other than Informatics should contact their Programme Director or appropriate School Teaching Organisation to arrange course registration.
