The student requires, in addition to a completed Bachelor of Science degree, a further ninety-six credit points for those taking a mathematics/physics or physiology sequence or a further ninety-eight credit points for those taking a complete science sequence in the subjects prescribed by this subject list which are also listed in the course in electrical and computer systems engineering in subject list I.

Part III - Intended candidature of BE in materials engineering

Major sequence of BSc studies completed

* Chemistry

* Chemical engineering science

* Physics

* Mathematics

Level 3 (year four) Such subjects as shall be approved for the candidate by the head of the Department of Materials Engineering.

Level 4 (year five) Such subjects as shall be approved for the candidate by the head of the Department of Materials Engineering.

Requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in materials engineering

The student requires in addition to a completed Bachelor of Science degree, not less than a further ninety-four credit points for the Bachelor of Engineering degree, in subjects prescribed by the head of the Department of Materials Engineering.

Part IV - Intended candidature of BE in mechanical engineering

Major sequence of BSc studies completed

* Applied mathematics

* Computer science

* Mathematics

* Meteorology and oceanography

* Physics

Level 3 (year four) A selection of subjects from levels two and three of the standard course in mechanical engineering as specified by the department. Individual prescriptions will depend on the subject content in the BSc already completed.

Level 4 (year five) The level-four subjects of the course in mechanical engineering.

It is recommended that candidates add a small level-two engineering subject to their enrolments in each of the second and third years of the BSc in order to make their levels three and four BE prescriptions satisfactory.

Requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in mechanical engineering

The student requires, in addition to a completed Bachelor of Science degree, not less than a further nintey-six credit points for the Bachelor of Engineering degree, in subjects prescribed by this subject list and selected from the course in mechanical engineering in subject list I.

Part V - Intended candidature of BE in civil engineering

Major sequence of BSc studies completed

* Computer science

* Earth sciences

* Mathematics

Level 3 (year four) A selection of subjects in the four levels of the course in civil engineering from those not already taken towards the BSc. The subjects chosen are not to exceed a maximum of fifty-two credit points.

Level 4 (year five) A selection of subjects in the four levels of the course in civil engineering from those not already completed. The selection is to include the required number of level-four elective subjects, and must not exceed a maximum of fifty-two credit points.

Note: Engineering, mathematics and physics subjects must be taken in the first year, and appropriate civil engineering and earth sciences subjects must be taken in the second and third years of the BSc as prescribed in the second subject list of the BSc regulations. The choice of other science subjects will be determined by the major sequence taken for the BSc degree.

Reqirements for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in civil engineering

The BE course in civil engineering requires completion of 188 credit points, comprising core subjects (152 credit points), level-four elective subjects (minimum of fifteen credit points), approved interfaculty subjects in the humanities and social sciences (six credit points) and general electives (fifteen credit points), as set out in the course in civil engineering in subject list I. Exemption from some of the core subjects may be gained for subjects completed in the BSc degree; details of exemptions available may be obtained from the Department of Civil Engineering, and candidates wishing to optimise exemptions are advised to consult the department about their choice of science subjects. Candidates are exempted from the general elective requirement (fifteen credit points) on the basis of subjects completed towards the science degree.
