Seven Elective modules  Elective 1 or 2 35

In total there are 90 ECTS in Year 4, but the Industrial Placement does not contribute to the final degree classification.
With the exception of the Industrial Placement, each module contributes its relative ECTS weight towards the year total.

Projects 

Students must complete an individual project which spans the whole academic year.

External Modules

Students may study up to two optional modules offered by other departments in the Engineering Faculty, the Imperial College Business School or the Humanities Department.

Coursework 

Each non-project module has associated coursework. The weighting is normally 20%, although for some more practical modules the weighting is 30% or 50%. The rest is assessed by written examination.
