Senior Sophister projects

Students must take a final year project if they intend on leaving after the fourth year and they are not taking the 4E4 Internship.

Eligibility to proceed to MAI year

Students must achieve a minimum overall mark of 60% for the combined Junior Sophister and Senior Sophister years (on a 30:70 basis) at the annual session of the B.Sc. degree year in order to be eligible to proceed to the MAI year.

Degree awards

Students who exit the course having obtained credit for years one to four of the course are entitled to the degree of BSc. Students who continue on to the MAI year and obtain credit for all five years of the course are entitled to the degrees of BSc and MAI (St.).

Gold Medals

Engineering with Management students may be eligible for a Gold Medal on the basis of their degree results at the end of the Senior Sophister year. The Engineering Court of Examiners' meeting at the Annual and Reassessment sessions makes recommendations to Board for the award of Gold Medal to Engineering with Management students based on College criteria. Gold medals are awarded by the Board to candidates of the first class who have shown exceptional merit.
