Projects

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.
