FAQ for BPES
- Why have I heard of some students taking BPES modules outside of I-Explore?
- Are BPES modules within I-Explore first-come first-served?
- Are there BPES module restrictions that I should be aware of?
The BPES programme existed before the launch of I-Explore and therefore has a longstanding tradition of offering modules to students throughout their time at Imperial. Depending on your degree programme, it is possible to take a BPES modules outside of I-Explore.
BPES modules come in two forms:
- For-credit I-Explore modules in either Year 2 or Year 3 (as chosen by your Department)
- For-credit elective modules as part of your degree (only available to students on certain degree programmes)
No - we are not operating a first-come first-served system for BPES modules taken through I-Explore.
The BPES team have reserved spaces on BPES modules for I-Explore students.
You will be asked to indicate 6 I-Explore modules that you would be interested in taking (in order of preference). We will be using a Sequential Prediction Algorithm to allocate you a module.
Please note that you cannot select more than four BPES modules within your six I-Explore preference choices. This is to help achieve optimal satisfaction for the greatest number of students, when we run our module allocation algorithm.
If you are completing a 'with management' degree, you will not be able to take a BPES module as your I-Explore module. This is due to the overlap of content with the core content of your degree. If you are planning to switch onto the 'with management' degree, please do not take an I-Explore BPES module (as you will no longer be eligible to enrol onto the 'with management' degree).
Depending on the timetabling or core content of your degree, there may be further restrictions on the BPES modules you can choose. Please see the I-Explore FAQ for futher details.
