1.0 WELCOME TO YOUR COURSE AND FACULTY
1
This is the Course Handbook for the MSc Professional Engineering and Technology. The staff of the Faculty
of Computing warmly welcome you to London Metropolitan University North Campus and to the study of
Professional Engineering and Technology.
1.1 Using Your Handbook
Your Course Handbook contains a wealth of information. Some of it will be of more relevance to you later in
the course than at the start of your studies. You can access your Course Handbook either by logging into
your Evision account or via the University’s website at: www.londonmet.ac.uk/pg-course-handbooks
We recommend that you read this Course Handbook thoroughly and carefully, as it covers many of the
questions you will have about your course. Sections 3 and 4 in particular will help you locate the advice you
will need. Section 10.1 contains an Index of key sources of information that you may need to access during
your course.
For more detailed information you will sometimes need to consult other sources, including:
University Student Handbook - for details of important University regulations and procedures. It
also provides information on university life and the support services available. The University
Student Handbook can be accessed at: www.londonmet.ac.uk/student-handbook
PostGrad-Line – a comprehensive on-line source of postgraduate course and module
information available at: https://intranet.londonmet.ac.uk/prog-plan/postgrad-line
Postgraduate students’ webpage – a comprehensive on-line resource for postgraduate students.
Provides information about your course, timetables, details of timeslots and room numbers for
most taught modules. Once you have completed enrolment and registration, you can view and
print your personal timetable Please see: www.londonmet.ac.uk/pg-students
The Course Specification (Section 8 of this handbook) defines the key features of your course, its aims,
structure and learning outcomes, and includes all the modules you must study for the award.
All postgraduate courses are governed by the University’s Academic Regulations
(www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-regulations). It is your responsibility to be fully aware of the
regulations which govern your studies as a postgraduate student of the University. Your course may
in addition have some course specific regulations or may be governed by a Professional Body.
Where relevant these are included in paragraph 32 of the Course Specification, contained within
Section 8 of this handbook.
You should also note that occasionally, the details in this Handbook, including the Course Specification, may
be amended or revised, in order to improve the Course.
The University is reviewing postgraduate education as part of its commitment to enhancing learning. This will
not affect full-time students completing in September 2012. However, it is possible that this may affect a
small number of part-time students. In the event of this occurring, any students affected will be advised
during 2011-12.
We would encourage you to participate as a Student Representative (see Section 3.6). We welcome your
comments about the course or any suggestions for improvements. We wish you every success in your
studies.

1.2 Introduction to the Course
2
The MSc Professional Engineering and Technology course is entirely work-based and will give professionals
the opportunity to learn quickly without leaving their work. The course includes a wide range of flexible
options, which allow students to combine their prior experience and to continue working on their current
business tasks as a part of their study. This way, studying for a higher academic degree will help them to
reflect on their own work and to find possibilities to run their business more efficiently, which can boost their
career to a new professional level.
The course assumes that the students have work and wish to prepare themselves for a career path related to
their work. It is expected that after finishing this course the students will be able to pursue a professional
career on a senior level. Although successfully finishing the course does not guarantee the position
anticipated, typical positions which might be suitable targets are: System Architect, System Administrator,
Project Manager, Software Development Team Leader, Business Process Line Manager and all intermediate
positions up to CIO and CEO.
The course takes from one to six years to complete and can be studied part-time without interrupting the
students’ work. If for whatever reason the students are unable to complete their study they can be awarded
one of the two intermediate awards (Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Technology and Engineering
and Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Technology and Engineering).
1.3 Key Features of Postgraduate Courses
The Course Specification (see Section 8) details your course curriculum and structure and you should study
this carefully. Many features are defined by the Postgraduate Regulatory Framework, part of the University’s
Academic Regulations (see Section 10.1 of this handbook for details), which sets out general features
common to almost all Masters courses.
(i) Full-time students starting Masters programmes in the Autumn semester are taught over a 48week
year (an autumn and a spring semester and a summer studies period), requiring
approximately 40 hours of study per week. For full-time students starting courses in February the
workload is similar but is distributed over a longer study period and normally completed at the end
of the following Spring semester. Part-time students undertake the equivalent overall workload
over a longer period of study, normally at least two years.
(ii) The standard Masters award requires 180 credits at level M: normally 120 credits for the taught
elements and 60 credits for the Dissertation or Project. There are some exceptions to the rule,
such as specified Masters courses in Human Resource Management, which require 180 credits,
and the MBA at 220 credits.
(iii) Most postgraduate modules are equivalent to 20 credits. Typically, a full-time student studies
modules equivalent to 60 credits per semester (normally 3 modules), with 15 weeks of teaching,
revision and assessment activities for each module.
(iv) The taught elements of postgraduate courses are mainly compulsory “core” modules and normally
include one concerned with research methodology and project development and practice, in
preparation for the dissertation or project. Some courses may include “designate” modules, which
can be chosen from a specified list for the course, or “elective” modules, which can be chosen from
any available at postgraduate level.
(v) All taught modules and the dissertation or project module, are marked on a percentage scale, with
a pass/fail threshold of 50%.
(vi) Based on the final aggregate of average percentage results, Masters awards are graded as:
Masters (50-59%), Masters with Merit (60–69%), or Masters with Distinction (70% plus)

3
(vii) While most students will aim to achieve the full Masters qualification, all Masters courses offer the
subsidiary awards of Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma (both available with Merit
or with Distinction) for students unable to complete their full programme of study. The full list of
awards and their requirements is as follows:
Award Credits at level M Modules Required
Masters 180 credits (Level 7) 6 modules + dissertation (60
credits)
Postgraduate Diploma 120 credits (Level 7) 6 modules
Postgraduate Certificate 60 credits (Level 7) 3 modules
1.4 Introduction to your Faculty
The Faculty of Computing is in central London at London Metropolitan University's North Campus, situated in
the Tower Building on Holloway Road.
The Faculty provides an extensive variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. These range from
electronic engineering, through networks, mathematics and statistics, a suite of computing and business
systems courses, to animation, games and multimedia - about 30 courses in total. The Faculty is divided into
four subject areas: Communications Technology, Computing, Mathematics and Multimedia.
There are around 70 academic staff and over 1300 students in what is one of the largest faculties in the
University. The Faculty pays equal importance to research and consultancy, teaching and continuing
professional development. One of the Faculty's key aims is to increase its relevance to commerce and
industry, eg by offering professional and short courses and through Knowledge Transfer Partnerships. We
place emphasis on professional integration by applying new technologies and approaches to our teaching
and research.
1.5 Location and Faculty Facilities supporting the course
A variety of specialist computer laboratories are available to students in the Tower Building at North Campus,
Holloway Road and throughout the University. Workstations run varied software including Unix, Windows,
networking software from CISCO, database software from Oracle and multimedia software. Other academic
services, including the library facilities, are provided by the University centrally. General purpose computer
laboratories, and wireless access for student laptops, are available in most university buildings.
1.6 Learning and Teaching on the Course
The Faculty of Computing covers three of the Quality Assurance Agency Subject Areas: Computing,
Electronic Engineering and Mathematics, and QAA assessments have been good, notably the quality review
in Computing which took place in 2004 and the Institutional Audit of Electronic Engineering in 2005. More
recently the Faculty has gained accreditation for its courses from the Institute of mathematics and its
Applications (IMA) and, provisionally, from the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), subject to final
approval. In 2010 the university gained broad confidence in its quality and standards from the QAA. In the
2011 National Student Survey overall student satisfaction with their course ranged from 80% in
Communications Technology, and 88% in Computing up to 100% in Mathematics.
1.7 Research in your Faculty

4
Research in the Faculty of Computing is applied, relevant to industry and often carried out in collaboration
with external partners. We have particular strengths in mathematics and statistics, communications
technology, knowledge management, intelligent systems and media design for interaction. The Faculty
included more than 30 research active staff in the UK Research Assessment Exercise (2008), resulting in half
of our Computer Science and Informatics research being classified as internationally recognised or
internationally excellent; and most of the Pure Mathematics and Statistics research being rated as
internationally excellent or world class. In recent years, our research, development and knowledge transfer
projects have attracted funding from, amongst others: European Union; Joint Information Systems Committee;
Higher Education Academy; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council; and British Broadcasting
Corporation. Much of our work is carried out in conjunction with industry. We are proactive in forming external
links and partnerships and in bringing contemporary research material into our degree programmes for the
benefit of our students and their employability.
Our research is carried out in the following research centres and groups:
Centre for Communications Technology
Intelligent Systems Research Centre (ISRC)
Knowledge Management Research Centre (KMR)
Laboratory of Applied Computer Science and Technology (LACOST)
Statistics, Operational Research and Mathematics Research Centre (STORM)
Students can use the Project Description Web Site to view projects and research topics offered by active
research staff which they can apply to do for their final 60 credit project module.

2.0 BEING A STUDENT
5
Undertaking study at postgraduate level is likely to involve new and different methods of working compared to
your previous experience. You will study more specialised subject matter at a more advanced level, relatively
quickly and over a shorter period. You will be expected to pursue your studies with a greater degree of
independence than at undergraduate level and to set your own learning objectives within the framework of
the course.
The remainder of this section highlights the general features and expectations associated with postgraduate
study.
2.1 Welcome Programme Checklist
Following the Welcome Programme and Course Introductory Meeting, you should check that you have
received the following:
an ID card (including library number and computer network username)
an email address
a course timetable
the location of your Postgraduate Office
the location of your Faculty Administrative Office
the location of your main learning centre and IT facilities
the name of your Course Leader
If you are not able to attend the Welcome session for you, contact your designated Postgraduate
Office to ensure you know what to do and where to go to get started. The Academic Year commences
from Monday 3 October 2011, immediately following the Welcome Programme. Your course allows
some variation of the starting date so if you need special arrangements, contact your Course
Organiser and he will be happy to assist you in that matter.
2.2 Your first semester
If you attend the university during the opening week, please note that the induction schedule will culminate in
one of two social events hosted by the University and the Students’ Union. These will take place three weeks
into your first semester and you are welcome to attend one of these sessions which will be held at both
campuses.
After your welcome, you will find yourself in the first week of formal teaching. Unlike students from the taught
courses, you will be studying most of the time individually and without coming to the university, so please
maintain regular contact with your Course Leader and watch the Web sites of your modules on WebLearn
(http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/weblearn/). In addition, your Course Leader will be able to point in the direction
of other introductory materials or sessions run by other University departments, for example, Library Services,
Student Services or the Students’ Union.
Your first semester usually involves only compulsory (core) modules covering essential subject
contents and skills elements in your area of study. During this semester you may also wish to apply
for crediting of your past experience and/or training as part of your course and to look for
professional training courses you may wish to negotiate to be included in your programme of study.
Your Course Leader will assist you throughout this process, so stay in touch.
2.3 Attendance, academic engagement and employment
This course is for people who are employed, and the study is focused on the work itself so you are not
required to come to the university unless you are attending another taught module or professional training
course as part of your study. This also allows overseas students to study from their home countries. But this

6
does not mean that you should not engage with the university. Both the module leaders of the modules
included in your individual programme of study and your Course Leader are here to help you. Even more, the
demand you keep in contact with them so that they can monitor your progress and assist you in the best
possible way.
Since by the time of starting the course you will be working, no work placements are considered. The
university does not provide placements and does not support work permit applications for students
enrolled on this course.
2.4 Studying while working
As a postgraduate student, you will be seeking to develop your learning at more advanced level and your
course will provide many opportunities to acquire new knowledge and skills. To make the most of these you
will need to develop a strategy for your studies, planning ahead, managing your time effectively and reflecting
on your learning.
Assessment is an important feature of study at postgraduate level. Each module booklet sets out detailed
assessment requirements and learning outcomes, providing a focus for your studies. There are various forms
of assessment and modules often involve a combination of examination and coursework or presentation. It is
important that you understand clearly the expectations and deadlines for each item of assessment.
You should be aware that all the various coursework assessments and examinations have to be completed
for the achievement of your final award. In addition to attending the timetabled sessions, you will need to
study in your own time. You should expect to spend 12-14 hours per week on each module, making up to
40 hour per week commitment for a full-time student (for 3 modules). Part-time students need to plan a
similar time commitment for each module, but will generally be taking fewer modules at any one time (1-2
modules per semester).
Independent study is essential throughout the entire study, not only for your project. You will be
working closely with your tutors, and you need to prepare your written work and presentations in
constant deliberation with them. When it comes to the final project, you must also plan your work
carefully with the assigned supervisor, with initial discussion to define the topic, preparatory
research and reading, planning the structure of the research and final report, writing and re-writing
particular sections and drafts.
2.5 Building Careers
Your course is very important for your career because it provides many opportunities, which the standard
courses may not offer. It is particularly aimed at increasing your work-related qualification and skills in order
to prepare yourself to take new roles on a higher level of responsibility.
First of all, the entire programme of study is focused on your work. Don’t hesitate to use it as a business case
for study in all the modules included in your programme. You are also strongly encouraged to involve your
employer in the process of planning of your studies.
In a second place, the results of your work will be made available to your employer. In the case of oral or
online presentations they may be arranged in the presence of your employer. Presenting yourself well in front
of the employer can definitively make an impact on your career with him. AT the same time, you must not be
afraid of this since the employer will not be involved in the process of assessment of your work.
Thirdly, as part of your programme of study towards the degree you may wish to consider attending of
training courses which provide professional training in areas of importance for your business. The university
provides professional training in some areas, such as Oracle database administration, CISCO network
management, Adobe technologies and tools, but this is by no means an exhaustive list of options and you

7
are encouraged to deliberate training both inside and outside the university as a part of your study. Such
training could be recognized and credited after the standard procedures for APCL/APEL.
All of our Masters graduates will normally be equipped to continue academic study at a higher level, for
example for a PhD or a professional doctorate. If you wish to continue your study at Londonmet on the next
level you may consider the available areas of interest of the Faculty staff at
http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/research/the-research-and-postgraduate-office/staff/staff_home.cfm
Becoming student while at work is a chance for boosting your career. Use it for your benefit.
2.6 Enrolment and Re-enrolment
Enrolment is an annual process. The first time you enrol you will need to provide evidence of your identity
and the qualifications which formed the basis of your offer from the University. You will also need to pay your
tuition fees or demonstrate how these will be paid.
The University ID card you receive at enrolment contains your library number and computer network
username and allows entry to the University’s buildings. Provided you fully completed the enrolment
requirements your card should work throughout the year. If it stops working then please seek advice from
your Postgraduate Office. By signing the enrolment form you confirm that you accept and will follow
the University’s regulations
If you are studying on a part-time basis over more than one academic year or need to return to complete your
studies, you will need to re-enrol online usually from around mid-August. Re-enrolment is necessary for your
ID card to be reactivated for the new academic year. There will be a deadline for this so it is important that
you complete this before the start of the next academic year.
If you are an overseas student studying while working in you home country you may not need the ID card to
get access to the university premises, but you can still use your network credentials to log in on the university
intranet to access online materials available to you.
Your student ID number, your network login name and your student email address are elements of
your identification as a student of LondonMet. They can be used locally, in person and remotely,
online, so keep them with you.

2.7 Credit for previous learning
8
If you already hold a qualification (for example from another college) that may exempt you from part of your
course, you may apply for Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning (APCL). Similarly, if you have
undertaken work, paid or voluntary, that has resulted in learning skills or knowledge equivalent to a module
you will be studying you may apply for Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL). Collectively these
are known as Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).
It is important to be aware that any application for APL credit in respect of postgraduate studies must be
based on prior learning or experience at a suitably advanced level. This means that additional training on
college or undergraduate level may not be credited under the conditions of APL. You can claim prior learning
up to 50% of the content of the entire course, which effectively means no more than 3 modules.
2.8 Module registration, course planning and approval
Your Course Leader should provide the information you will require in order to choose your modules. Core
Modules are compulsory for your course, but your course may also offer Designate Modules, which can be
chosen from a specified list of modules taught at the Faculty instead of the two technological modules if you
prefer to attend taught modules.
In the structure of the course there are two designated modules which can be credited entirely based on your
prior training and experience with the technologies in your professional area. This can lead to financial
implications for the cost of your study, since your programme of studies may become shorter. You are
strongly encouraged to use this opportunity even if you do not have professional training, although in such a
case you may need to arrange additional training to fill in these slots with suitable courses.
In either case, consult this with your Course Leader before the registration so that your programme
of studies reflects both your future plans as well as your past experience.

2 Students confirm their programme of study for the year and may not vary their Autumn Semester programme after this point
3 Students may make amendments to their Spring Semester programme (they cannot reduce the number of modules studied).
4 It is unlikely that students will be in a position to take their dissertation at this stage, but it is just possible that they may have
sufficient credit at entry to do so.
2.9 Your Timetable
As work-based student your timetable depends entirely on you. However, if you are taking standard taught
modules from the Faculty portfolio you may need to consult the regulations which apply to that modules.
2.10 Publication of Results and Transcripts
At the end of each semester Assessment Boards confirm marks and awards. The Postgraduate Offices are
responsible for providing these results to you via Evision. www.londonmet.ac.uk/evision (refer 3.4 below)
An official transcript will be posted to you at your home address on the completion of your course. There is
no charge for this end of course transcript but a fee will be payable for any subsequent transcripts.
For reason of employment or to provide proof of study at the University during your course, you may need a
formal transcript, stamped by the Postgraduate Office. There is a fee for these transcripts, payable at the
time of request. Requests should be made to the Postgraduate Office, who aim to produce transcripts within
5 working days of request.

3.0 MANAGING YOUR ACADEMIC LIFE ON-LINE
3.1 Your University IT Account
10
You use the same account to access all University IT systems. Your account name is printed at the top of on
the ID card that you receive at enrolment and is 7 characters in length (e.g. ABC1234). Your password will
be set initially to be your date of birth (DDMMYYYY) so you should change to something secure when you
first log in. You can change your password and set details for resetting your password at:
http://my.londonmet.ac.uk
3.2 Communication
We do our best to keep you informed of what you need to know at all times. We use the Web to provide
much of the information you need so it is essential to familiarise yourself with the University website. At other
times we will use email to contact you so it is essential that you check your University email on a regular
basis.
3.3 Your Contact Details
The University will contact you by letter, phone, or email, perhaps to arrange a meeting, to provide you with
information, or to respond to a query. It is therefore essential that you keep your contact details up to date
on your student Evision account.
Increasingly, we use email to communicate and keep you informed. You will also have been allocated a
University email address, which is your 7 character account (see 3.1 above) e.g.
ABC1234@my.londonmet.ac.uk . Even if you already have an email account that you will continue to use you
should regularly check your London Met account or set up an auto forward, as important messages will be
sent to your University email address.
3.4 Evision
Evision is the University’s online facility that allows you to access your personal student record, and is where
you print your coursework coversheets and other forms that you may need. You also re-enrol via Evision and
view information showing your attendance at classes. You can view your:
Personal and contact details (can be updated online)
Registered modules
Enrolment and progression
Tuition fee details
Record of coursework deadlines and submissions
Mitigating Circumstances decisions
Module results (available from notified date of publication)
Details of final award
For more information please check: www.londonmet.ac.uk/evision
3.5 WebLearn – Online module resources
WebLearn provides online support for your modules, enabling you to communicate with your tutor and other
students. Course materials, information and assessments are available on WebLearn as well as study
programmes materials and such as “Writing and Communicating at University”. WebLearn requires your user
name and password and can be accessed at: www.londonmet.ac.uk/tltc/weblearn

THE STUDENT VOICE
3.6 StARS
11
Feedback from students is vital to the University to find out how well the teaching, guidance and other
services are working. This is obtained in different ways, including via Student Academic Representatives
(StARs) who, supported by the Students’ Union, provide direct feedback from students on the course and
raise any issues on their behalf. You will have the opportunity to stand for election as a StAR or to elect a
fellow student.
3.7 Course Committees
A Course Committee is normally convened each semester to review a set of modules and courses and
provide quality assurance. Key staff, including module and course lecturers, attend these meetings and
student input is received via your StARs.
3.8 Students’ views on modules and courses
Students’ views are obtained by a variety of means such as focus groups and web-based questionnaires.
While staff welcome informal feedback from students, module lecturers will produce formal monitoring reports
which cover areas such as teaching, student feedback and assessment. Reports and action points agreed
are available from both module and course reviews.
3.9 Postgraduate representation through the Students’ Union
The University is proud to work with the Students’ Union which now has a Postgraduate Officer whom you
may wish to contact about any student, pastoral or social issue.
To contact the Students’ Union please access: http://www.londonmetsu.org.uk/

4.0 SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ADVICE
4.1 Postgraduate Office
12
The Postgraduate Office is the key administrative service to support you in your studies throughout your time
at the University. You will be assigned to the Postgraduate Office linked to your course, normally in the
building where the subject teaching staff are located. It will be here that you go with timetable queries, to plan
your modules, to hand in your coursework, to collect letters you may need, and to ask any questions about
your studies.
You should also contact your Postgraduate Office in relation to the following issues:
• Queries about your enrolment status or the fees that you have been charged;
• Queries about your timetable or the modules that are registered for you;
• If your ID card is not working;
• Submit a module query, a claim for mitigating circumstances, an appeal, or get advice about
examination arrangements;
• Advice on claiming credit for previous study or experience;
• Help you contact your course leader;
• Obtain standard letters and council tax exemption certificates;
• Visa extension letters for international students;
• Advice on the consequences of withdrawing.
Each group of courses has a Course Administrator and you will become familiar with them throughout your
time at the University. Your Postgraduate Office will also contact you if you are missing classes or not
submitting work on time.
The offices are normally open throughout the academic year but can also be contacted by phone or email –
see www.londonmet.ac.uk/registry
When contacting your Postgraduate Office, please always quote your student number as it enables staff to
access your information quickly and so respond to your query.
4.2 Postgraduate Course Leader
Course leaders are the main contacts for personal academic advice, including programme planning and
approval, and are also responsible for the day-to-day organisation of their course and liaising with academic
and administrative staff. They can be a source of valuable advice for other matters also and should be tour
first port of call if problems arise. They are able to:
provide you with academic advice on all aspects of your studies and progress
explain the implications of assessment results and associated feedback on your academic
performance
advise you on managing and planning your studies;
refer you to Student Services for support regarding personal problems, housing, health and finance
Your Course Leader can also write you a reference, for a job application for example.
4.3 Module Lecturers
Module lecturers are members of academic staff who lead the modules contributing to your programme of
study and are key to your learning experience. They should be your first port of call for advice on any topics
you do not understand following a lecture or seminar. All Module lecturers have “office hours” – these are set
times during the week when they are available for consultation. For each module there will be a Module
Booklet.

4.5 Student Success through Learning Development

5.0 FINAL PROJECT
5.1 Registration
15
You register for your Final Masters Project in the same way as for your other modules - see section 2.8
Module Registration, Course Planning and Approval.
Once you are registered for your project, you are expected to submit it in the period for which you are
registered. The University’s standard assessment arrangements and mitigating circumstances procedures
apply (see below for information on withdrawal and mitigating circumstances).
Formal requirements for your dissertation are set out in detail in the Project Module Booklet for your course.
The main aspects are summarised below:
5.2 Supervision Arrangements
Students will undertake the work under the guidance of a member of academic staff. This supervision is
expected to take up, on average, 0.5 hour per week and the student is expected to work independently for a
further 29.5 hours per week. Students working on projects are expected to use mainly email to discuss
problems related to the undertaken work, to seek advice on the completed and future work, and to discuss
the progress of their work. Supervisors are expected to use email as well to provide advice, guidance and
support to students.
If you need to arrange a meeting with your supervisor ion person, you can either visit the university, or you
can deliberate a visit by the supervisor to your work place, whenever suitable. In either case, you must
negotiate the meeting with your supervisor in advance. If you are an international student and you need a
visa for coming to the UK on a visit, you may also need to contact the Graduate office for arranging the
necessary documents related to the visa application.
5.3 Topic approval
All final projects in this course must be related to your current work. Students can identify a problem
themselves, they can ask their employer for formulating a suitable work-related problem, or they may accept
a suggestion by the supervisor. After identifying the problem the students should write up a short proposal
describing the nature of the problem, rationale, objectives and methodology. The topic of the project will be
finalised in consultation with the agreed Project Supervisor, who will also advise on the scope and viability of
the work and who will provide advice, guidance and support for the duration of the project.
You should also consult the University’s Code of Good Research Practice which can be accessed at:
http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/research/the-research-and-postgraduate-office/current-students/researchethics.cfm
to see whether these guidelines raise any issues for your own research, and discuss them with
your supervisor.
5.4 Planning and Timing
An outline project plan forms part of the proposal submitted for FCPP01N. Further planning and timing are
carried out in discussion with the project supervisor at the beginning of the project.
In addition to meeting the Supervisor on a weekly basis, weekly workshops are organised by the Module
Convener to address issues relevant to the Project, which gives the student the opportunity to get further
feedback/advice and ask questions.

5.5 Submission
16
You must submit two copies of your dissertation/ project. One copy will be available for you to collect after
marking and the other may be kept by the University, for reference.
Both copies should be securely bound so that pages cannot easily be removed, lost or replaced. It is helpful
if at least one of the copies is bound with front and rear boards rigid enough to hold the dissertation upright
on a shelf, and has a navy blue cover with gold lettering. (Your Postgraduate Office can provide a list of
thesis binders, or they can be sent to you via ordinary mail.
There are three standard deadline dates for submission in every academic year. The dates for your course
in 2011/12 are:
Autumn Semester N/A
Deadline
Spring Semester 18 May 2012 (for full-time students only, if you started the project in
the beginning of the second semester)
Summer Period 31 August 2012 9 (for full-time and part-time students, if you started
the project after you finished the second semester)
Projects must be submitted at your Postgraduate Office
Dissertations/Projects must be submitted at your Postgraduate Office

17
6.0 MARKING AND ASSESSMENT
6.1 Academic Regulations
The University’s Academic Regulations govern all aspects of assessment and those concerning postgraduate
assessment can be found in Section 4.2 (www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-regulations).
6.2 Marking and grades
The University provides you with marks and grades for the work that you submit for assessment. The
detailed requirements of assessment in each module are specified in module booklets, together with
indicative assessment criteria associated with different levels of performance and results. Each component of
assessed work is assigned a percentage mark with a pass/fail threshold at 50%.
At postgraduate level, degrees are awarded according to the overall average mark obtained for all modules
and the dissertation, with classification thresholds for each grade of award as follows:
70% and above Masters degree with Distinction
60% - 69.99% Masters degree with Merit
50% - 59.99% Masters degree
0% - 49.99% Fail
At the end of each semester, module results and awards are confirmed by Assessment Boards (Subject
Standards Boards and Awards Boards). Assessment Boards uphold the academic standards of your course
and ensure that each student is treated fairly and equally through the assessment process.
6.3 Your responsibilities concerning Assessment
You have a responsibility to ensure that all coursework assessments are completed in accordance with the
published deadlines and that all examinations are attended in accordance with the published timetable.
While there are opportunities to be re-assessed in assignments and examinations (see 6.10 below) you
should be aware that, under the University’s Academic Regulations, if you pass the module on reassessment
your overall module mark will be capped at the bare pass mark level of 50%.
6.4 Academic Misconduct
You are also responsible for ensuring that all work submitted is your own, and that it is appropriately
referenced. The University does not tolerate cheating of any kind. You are strongly advised to familiarise
yourself with the Academic Misconduct Procedures, which list a range of categories of academic misconduct
and associated penalties, covering instances of academic misconduct (plagiarism, collusion, exam cheating).
From the outset of your studies you should receive information and guidance on referencing conventions and
group work activities and on how to ensure that you do not contravene the University’s Procedures. If you
are unsure about referencing, paraphrasing or group work activities, you should seek advice as soon as
possible from the Module Tutor, your PAA or the Students’ Union.
An interactive guide on preventing plagiarism containing student views on plagiarism, interactive
demonstrations on how to reference and quizzes can be accessed at:
http://learning.londonmet.ac.uk/TLTC/learnhigher/Plagiarism/
Further information can be accessed at:
www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-misconduct

6.5 Assessment Feedback
18
Assessment feedback is a critical part of your learning experience and supports successful achievement on
your course. Feedback can be:
diagnostic – it provides an indicator of your aptitude and preparedness for study and can identify your
strengths and weaknesses.
formative – it provides you with feedback on progress on your work. The work may or may not
contribute to the overall module grade.
summative – it provides a measure of achievement or failure in respect of your performance in
relation to intended learning outcomes for a piece of assessment.
During your course you will probably receive feedback in a number of different forms.
in teaching sessions to the whole class or to you individually;
orally or in writing;
written using a feedback sheet on your work;
during the module as well as at the end.
Your assessment tasks may be set for submission during the semester or towards the end of the
semester. For this course the beginning of the semester is not a fixed date but the date of actual
starting as negotiated with the Course Leader.
You should note carefully the following details
For coursework submitted up to the end of teaching week 9 of a semester
i) Your marked coursework and accompanying feedback should normally be returned to you during
module sessions. Alternative arrangements may be made, for example, where the assessment
involves bulky pieces of coursework.
For coursework submitted after teaching week 9 of a semester
i) Your tutor’s feedback (without the coursework) will be available for collection either from your module
lecturer or from the Postgraduate Office.
ii) The marked work with your tutor’s comments will be available for collection two weeks after the formal
publication of the result.
iii) Any unclaimed work will be kept for a period of 6 months following publication of the result, after which
it will be destroyed.
All arrangements for coursework and feedback return will normally be stated in module booklets. This should
include:
due dates for coursework submission;
dates when coursework feedback will be distributed in class (for work submitted up to the end of week
9);
dates when coursework feedback can be collected from the module lecturer or the Postgraduate
Centre (for work submitted after week 9);
the format by which assessment feedback will be given;
the process by which coursework can be collected two weeks following the publication of the result
concerned.
6.6 Submission of coursework
Unless you are given formal guidance to do otherwise (e.g. for some design work or work to be submitted via
WebLearn), written coursework must be submitted via email directly to the module leader.

6.7 Presentation Timetable
19
As the presentations and demonstrations are an important assessment mechanism in number of modules in
your course you may expect to be required to prepare and deliver them in person in quite a number of
occasions. Presentations in person can be delivered either at the University, or at your workplace. This will
be negotiated with your tutors in each specific occasion. Wherever you are delivering the presentation or the
demonstration at your workplace, your tutor will be coming there and your employer may be also invited to
participate, but the academic judgement will be always of your tutor only.
If you are an international student and cannot come to the University for presentation/demonstration in
person, or if your tutor is not coming to your place of work, you may be allowed to present the materials
prepared by you online. In such a case you will receive instructions how this should be organised by your
tutor and you may be required to install suitable software on your own premises or at work for which you will
have to have the permission.
In any case, you may need to deliberate the time and the method of presenting directly with your
tutor/supervisor.
6.8 Mitigating Circumstances
Students who are unable to attend an examination must contact their Postgraduate Office on or before the
date of the exam. A claim should also be made under the procedures for Mitigating Circumstances which, if
accepted, will result in an opportunity to redo the exam without penalty in the summer period. Students who
are unable to submit coursework by the due date should also make a claim under the mitigating
circumstances process but are also expected, where possible, to submit the assignment within two weeks of
the due date with an explanation of the reasons for lateness.
Students who do not submit assessment and do not notify the University of the reasons for this in
advance will not be eligible for reassessment and may be required to retake the module and, in some
cases, to leave the course.
For further information access: www.londonmet.ac.uk/mitigation
If you think you are likely to need to make a claim under these procedures you are advised to contact your
Postgraduate Office in advance of the due date.
Claims of mitigating circumstances must be submitted to the Postgraduate Office on the appropriate form,
attaching independent supporting evidence of the particular circumstances that affected your studies. Forms
should be printed from: www.londonmet.ac.uk/mitigation
The deadlines for the submission of claims are published at: www.londonmet.ac.uk/mitigation , but also on
notice boards outside the Postgraduate Office.
Prior to submitting a claim for Mitigating Circumstances you are strongly advised to familiarise yourself with
the Mitigating Circumstances Criteria (Section 10.3 of the Academic Regulations), which can be found at:
www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-regulations
6.9 Assessment Board Appeals
There are only three grounds on which students may appeal against the outcome of an assessment board
decision. These are very specific and an appeal may not be made in respect of an academic judgement or in
respect of a rejected claim of mitigating circumstances. The University operates a strict 5 working day
deadline for submission of appeals, following the publication of the result(s) concerned. Refer to the Index
(Section 10.1) for sources of further information.

20
Appeals in respect of impaired academic performance due to mitigating circumstances may be made only in
relation to an exam or to an assessed piece of work that was submitted by the published deadline. If
successful, the assessment/reassessment concerned will be voided and any mark achieved must be
surrendered. A further assessment/reassessment will then be granted, at the next opportunity, in place of the
voided attempt. Such appeals WILL NOT be considered in relation to work submitted during the late
coursework period (as defined in 6.8 above).
Prior to submitting an Appeal you should familiarise yourself with the Procedures for the submission of
Appeals (Section 10.4 of the Academic Regulations), which can be found at:
www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-regulations
6.10 Action in the event of failure to pass a module
Reassessment
A student who attempts the final component of assessment in a module shall normally be entitled to be
reassessed on one occasion in any module for which a failing mark has been awarded. Reassessment takes
place during the summer resit period following the academic session in which the module was taken.
However, reassessment of a dissertation shall take place at the next available assessment point (i.e.
January for September submissions, May for January submissions and September for May submissions).
Under the University’s Academic Regulations, if you pass the module following reassessment, your overall
module mark will be capped at the bare pass.
A student who does not attempt the final component of assessment in a module will only be permitted
reassessment if they have notified the University (normally in advance of the date of submission/date of
examination). Where the reasons given are documented and meet the criteria for Mitigating Circumstances
(see Section 6.8), a student will be entitled to be assessed during the summer period as if for the first time
and will be entitled to the full range of marks for the module. Where a request for a deferral of assessment is
made but the claim does not satisfy the criteria for Mitigating Circumstances, the University may agree a
reassessment opportunity but any passing module mark will be capped at a bare pass.
If you have received failing marks in three or more modules (60 credits) in a level you will be required to
undertake a review of your academic performance with your Course Leader or nominee. On the basis of this
review, you may be required to leave the course or seek admission on to a different course.
You should ensure that you familiarise yourself with the University regulations on reassessment (Section 4.2
of the Academic Regulations), which can be found at:
www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-regulations
Retaking a module
If, after reassessment, you still have not passed a module, you may need to re-register and to take the whole
module again. You are only permitted to re-register any module on one occasion and a fee may be charged
for re-registrations.
6.11 University Criteria for Awards
The Postgraduate Awards Framework, the list of all of the University’s postgraduate awards, can be found at
the beginning of Section 4.1 of the Academic Regulations. Section 4.2 of the Academic Regulations details
the minimum criteria for all the University’s postgraduate awards.

WITHDRAWAL, INTERRUPTION OR TRANSFER
6.12 Withdrawal from a module
21
Normally once you have a registered programme for the academic year it cannot be changed. You have until
the end of week 2 of the first semester to withdraw from a module without academic or financial penalty. After
this point you are expected to complete every module registered against your record and to pay any fee due
for your registered programme. For further information and advice please contact your Postgraduate Office.
Withdrawal from a module is not permitted after Week 2 of the first semester and students with unforeseen
circumstances, which prevent completion of an assessment or a module, should submit a claim of mitigating
circumstances. (See section 6.8). Requests to substitute modules for the second semester of study must be
submitted by the University’s specified deadline for such requests and shall be subject to University approval.
Such requests shall only be considered where there is no reduction in the total number of modules registered.
6.13 Intermission of Studies
There may be circumstances that arise in the year that make it difficult for you to continue on your course or
part of your course. If this is the case you should in the first instance, contact your Postgraduate Office, who
will advise you of the options available to you. You may need to see your Course Leader and/or Student
Services.
Intermission of studies is only possible in exceptional cases and you will need to provide evidence of your
circumstances that confirms it is not possible for you to continue on your course. Intermission can have as
financial implications (where applicable) and on your status in the UK if you are an international student.
During an approved intermission of studies you will not be eligible to sit examinations, submit coursework or
undertake any other form of assessment.
The maximum period of intermission permitted is two years and the maximum period in which to
qualify for a Masters degree (including any agreed intermission) is six years.
If you intermit without prior approval you will be deemed to have withdrawn from your course and
you may not be allowed to recommence at a later date.
For further details go to: www.londonmet.ac.uk/intermission
6.14 Mode of Study
Your mode of study is determined by the University based on the number of modules that you have
registered for a particular semester (Refer to Section 4.1, Regulation 13 of the Academic Regulations).
While students are permitted to change their mode of study at the end of a semester, they must be clearly
registered as either full-time or part-time for each whole semester. This is because the funds allocated to
the University by the Higher Education Funding Council (England) relate to the number of students registered
in each mode.
You should be aware that a change in mode of study is a formal University process and you should therefore
seek advice from your Postgraduate Office or Student Services before making any decision.
The university does not support visa applications on the ground of full-time study for international
students in this course.
6.15 Course Transfers
If you intend to change course, you should seek advice from your Postgraduate Office.

activities:
Work-based learning using self-study and/or communication and collaboration with other
professionals at work. The students will be expected to work in their normal business
environment to prepare the course tasks materials to be submitted for formal assessment and
presentation at the university.
E-Learning using electronic communications with the tutors for guidance and support. Part of the
study will be conducted using materials, provided by the university and made available to the
students over the Internet using convenient tools (e-mailing, instant messaging, file
downloading). Supplementary learning material such as notes and handouts, bibliography and
links to external resources will be generally available through the university WebLearn system.
Individual and Group sessions for oral presentation of research reports, professional portfolios
and for practical demonstrations of engineering solutions. This will be organised on university
premises with participation of both the students and their tutors.
Recognising of prior experience, academic study and professional training. The students will be
allowed to claim up to 50% of their study credits according to the university procedures for
recognising prior experience after standard AP(E)L procedures.
Individual or group guidance for AP(E)L applications. As part of the procedures for credit
recognition the students will be provided with the necessary instructions and practical assistance
to allow them optimize their programme of study according to their personal experience.
Part of the study program can also include attendance of taught modules and short intensive
courses available through the Faculty of Computing current portfolio of modules. In such a case
the direct contact time will increase, combining lectures, workshops, tutorials and seminars in
which information is conveyed through various more conventional methods such as group-work,
case studies, problem based learning tasks, presentations and demonstrations.
Assessment
Students should expect to be assessed through a variety of methods strictly related to the course
outcomes listed above.
Formative assessment such as written coursework, research reports and professional portfolio will
require students to
Conduct individual research
Formulate business cases
Collect factual data
Build problem portfolios
Propose business models
Perform feasibility analysis
Construct technical specifications
Develop software prototypes
Evaluate technical solutions from business, professional, legal and social perspectives
Write technical documentation
Summative assessments such as prototype demonstrations, oral presentations and project reports
will add to the above outcomes a variety of tasks, including:
Discussing advantages and disadvantages of alternative solutions available
Comparing alternatives according to a designated set of criteria
Planning project activities for achieving professional targets
Specifying technical solutions using pseudo-code, formal languages and visual diagrams

Writing detailed explanations and justification of the specifications
Projecting future development
25b. Cognitive intellectual skills
Learning Outcomes
29
On completing the course the students are expected to have developed higher order skills that are
reflected in the student’s ability to:
1. Carry out independent and scholarly research and investigation. This skill will be encouraged at
the module level and has been built in to the course structure by the provision of a specific
module (Research and Development Skills) and the final project work (MSc Project)
2. Evaluate and compare a range of technological solutions for IT problems, which they will
encounter in their employment. This skill has been built into the course structure by the provision
of two specific modules (Work-based Learning and Professional Development, and Professional
Portfolio)
3. Evaluate and select appropriate analysis and design methods for solving problems of software
implementation (Work-based Learning and Professional Development)
4. Anticipate, detect and handle issues related to the planning, development, deployment,
maintenance and evolution of complex software in their employing organisation. This skill is
related to all above mentioned modules, as well as the Project Management module included in
the programme of study.
5. Deploy general study skills, problem solving behaviour, team working skills, communication,
self-presentation and decision-making for improving the individual performance, team efficiency
and activity optimisation in real business environment. This skill is primarily related to all creative
work, which goes across the modules but it will also interact with the individual professional
practice.
6. Evaluate the professional, ethical, social and legal issues involved in developing and deploying
software.
Teaching/ learning strategies and methods
The main teaching/learning strategies in this direction of learning will be centred around the
following methods:
Individual research using publicly available and work-related sources of information
Professional communication within the industrial environment at the workplace with colleagues
Public presentations on subjects related to the above issues before colleagues, tutors and
guests
Critical evaluation and justification of proposed solution
Assessment
Students will be exposed to various assessment techniques suitable for assessing cognitive
abilities. Formative assessment such as feasibility study, presentations and keeping of logbooks
will usually be accompanied by summative assessment such as problem portfolio submission,
presentations and technical demonstrations.
All assessment methods are designed to test the student’s actual level of skill achievements.
Initially the students are expected to conduct some research of existing technologies, business
models and solutions, then they will be asked to gather and analyse data, subsequently they will
be expected to identify problems and propose solutions and, finally to plan the actual
implementation.

As students progress through the semesters, the assessment methods will become more
challenging, culminating in the requirement to write a MSc Project report.
Any prior experience and existing certificates of the students will be assessed via a portfolio
matched to learning outcomes
25c. Transferable skills
30
The overall curriculum is designed to develop in students specific skills that should define their
‘graduateness’ at the end of the period of study. These skills are embedded in the curriculum and
developed within each module. The key skills are:
1. The ability to communicate ideas, principles, theories and information effectively by oral and
written means, business presentations and technical prototype demonstration.
2. The ability to work effectively both in a team and independently on a given project or task.
3. The ability to apply advanced software analysis and design skills to the development of industrial
applications.
4. The ability to think critically and take decisions, analysing given information, evaluating technical
options, designing solutions and implementing them in an industrial setting.
Teaching/learning strategies and methods
At all stages, students have the opportunity to work independently and to present work in varied
forms such as study reports, data sampling, problem portfolios, technical demonstration and oral
presentations (skill 1 & 2). Group work is included in both semesters with lots of interpersonal and
professional communication during the first semester and some more emphasis on the team
interaction during the second semester (skill 2). The technological skills are also covered in both
semesters (Engineering and Technology Designate 1 & 2 modules) and subsequently find their
application in the final year project (skill 3). Critical thinking (skill 4) is developed and stimulated
throughout the whole curriculum, but especially in three of the core modules - Research and
Development Skills, Work-Based Learning and Professional Development, and Professional
Portfolio and culminates in the final year project (MSc Project). Support and guidance regarding
AP(E)L procedures will be provided both online and individually (See http://apel.londonmet.ac.uk).
Assessment
Skills 1, 3 and 4 are assessed through written reports and presentations. Skills 2 and 4 are
assessed through case studies and the professional portfolio. Skill 2 is assessed through project
work and public presentations. Support and guidance regarding AP(E)L procedures will be provided
both online and individually (See http://apel.londonmet.ac.uk).

25d. Subject-specific practical skills
Learning Outcomes
31
The MSc Professional Engineering and Technology course is a framework for work-based
individual study in a broad area of engineering and technology directions and as such it
leads to a variety of subject-specific skills. Because of this the following list of outcomes
covers only partially the whole spectrum of possible outputs at the end of the study, which
depends on both the preliminary preparation of the students as well as on their individual
programme of study throughout the course as agreed with the course management.
1. Perform business analysis and system modelling for solving complex business problems
and doing e-Business using a variety of methodologies and supported by appropriate
software tools.
2. Configure, utilise and manage off-the-shelf products and business suites in a desktop,
centralised and distributed mode of operation.
3. Design complex scenarios for working using visual interfaces for interacting with
business information systems and services in distributed, service-oriented and pattern
based software architectures.
4. Critically apply knowledge and skills to test, evaluate and assess real-world information
systems, software products and services.
5. Control, monitor and administer complex technical systems for doing business online
and working in a collaborative environment.
6. Estimate, plan, manage and execute information systems, software products and
information services implementation projects.
Teaching/learning strategies and methods
The technical nature of these skills requires selection of appropriate methods for working
with the corresponding tools and technologies through which these skills are acquired,
specific to the corresponding professional area – data and knowledge processing
technologies, software engineering technologies, communication technologies, media
technologies, etc.
Assessment
Depending on the technology in consideration, the assessment of these elements will be
done through a variety of individual and group exercises, reports and presentations, workbased
and presentations, etc.; see individual module specifications for the assessment
schemes for specific modules. Recognition of prior experience will be based on the portfolio
matched to the learning outcomes according to the standard APEL procedures. Support and
guidance regarding AP(E)L will be provided both online and individually (See
http://apel.londonmet.ac.uk).
26. Course structure diagram
The programme of study will be entirely practice driven and work-based, customized to the
individual needs of the students in their workplace. The students are expected to work
closely with the business in order to identify, study and propose solutions to key problems in
the business they participate in through a number of instruments – project plans, feasibility
studies, professional portfolio, technical models, specifications and prototypes.

28. Additional general comments (if appropriate)
36
This Work-Based Learning course requires a negotiated learning agreement as to the content and
assessment of each module. The course team will ensure abroad spectrum of study and the uniqueness of
each module content. Submitted assignments must be unique to each module or the student may be liable to
a charge of academic misconduct.
The course is entirely work-based and assumes that the students are already employed in industry, where
they undertake technical positions requiring daily use of IT and/or performing engineering duties related to
design, development, deployment, testing and maintenance of products, services and systems. The course
specification in fact provides a framework for studying in a chosen field of professional technology and
engineering which needs to be negotiated between the student and the university and agreed with the
employer before becoming a contractual obligation for both the student and the university. The learning
contract may include signing off a non-disclosure agreement.
The university provides standard access to the available library facilities onsite with the possibility of
borrowing books, and remote access to the resources available online. Studying the course also relies
heavily on the use of personal computing equipment and requires intensive communications over the Internet.
Where the students are not attending taught modules at the university it is their responsibility to make
necessary arrangements with their employers for accessing such equipment at work or to arrange such
facilities at home for the purpose of their study.
Since most of the work undertaken by students while studying will be performed while working, in addition to
the general regulations regarding cheating and plagiarism, it is expected that the essential part of the work
presented by the students will be a result of their own efforts; where it is a part of collaboration within a team,
there should be a clear demarcation of the roles and citation of the ownership of the results to defend the
intellectual property rights of the other members of the team. This may also require consent forms to be
signed by all members of the team.
The course allows enrolling of both domestic and overseas students. Overseas students need to attend at
least the induction and the presentations included in the corresponding modules, but do not need to stay in
the country during the entire duration of the course. They can continue working in their own country and are
strongly encouraged to relate their study to the workplace.
29. Standard University entry requirements, inc APEL/AP(E)L
The course is open to students with an undergraduate degree in Sciences, Engineering and Arts related to
the use of technical products, systems or services. It is normally assumed that the students are professionally
employed, self-employed or work as freelance consultants and will continue working in the same area during
the duration of their study.
If English is not applicant's first language or the medium of previous study is not English, IELTS score of 6.0
or above (with all components 5.5. or above), a TOEFL score above 600, or a TOEFL on-line test score of
250 or above (or equivalent, as approved by the Course Leader) is required to qualify for the course.
International students are strongly advised to pass language tests prior to enrolment, since the course does
not allow for language training as part of the study.
30. Career opportunities
The course assumes that the students have work and wish to prepare themselves for a career path related to
their work. It is expected that after finishing this course the students will be able to pursue a professional
career on a senior level. Although successfully finishing the course does not guarantee the position
anticipated, typical positions which might be suitable targets are: System Architect, System Administrator,
Project Manager, Software Development Team Leader, Business Process Line Manager and all intermediate
positions up to CIO and CEO.

31. Course summary
37
The MSc Professional Engineering and Technology course is entirely work-based and will give professionals
the opportunity to learn quickly without leaving their work. The course includes a wide range of flexible
options, which allow students to combine their prior experience and to continue working on their current
business tasks as a part of their study. This way, studying for a higher academic degree will help them to
reflect on their own work and to find possibilities to run their business more efficiently, which can boost their
career to a new professional level.
Two of the modules included in the study programme are of technical nature and are meant to increase the
level of professionalism in dealing with technology (Professional Technology Foundation and Technology
and Engineering Solutions Management), two modules are methodological by nature and target the
personal and professional development of the students (Research and Development Skills, Work-Based
Learning and Professional Development) and a third group of modules is entirely practically-oriented and
directly prepares the students for the project (Professional Portfolio and Project Management). The MSc
Project module, which finishes the course of study, summarizes and integrates the knowledge and skills
gained during the study on a problem directly related to students work, and therefore it allows them to show
to a fuller extent a new level of competence and confidence in their workplace.
The course takes from one to six years to complete and can be studied part-time without interrupting the
students’ work. If for whatever reason the students are unable to complete their study they can be awarded
one of the two intermediate awards (Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Technology and Engineering
and Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Technology and Engineering).
32. Course Regulatory Schedule
a) Since the course is work-based, a specific regulation related to this course will be to seek the
agreement of both the university and the student employer or contracted client if appropriate before
undertaking the programme of study. After preliminary assessment of the student’s preparation, the
student and the Course Organiser will construct a negotiated programme of study. Before final
enrolment on the course, the student will need to provide in writing an official statement of agreement
of this programme of study from his/her employer.
b) The university regulations allow up to 50% of the credits to be claimed using AP(E)L procedures.
The modules which are recognised and/or assessed through these procedures will be included with
the respective credit in the program of study. The only modules which are exempt from this
procedure are CCPW02N, CCPW05N and the MSc Project (60 credits).
c) APEL requires students to demonstrate their learning from experience through approved assessment
methods. APEL guidance can be delivered by a variety of means:
• as an independent learning activity, where students apply on an individual basis and are given
materials and tutor support, as appropriate, in order to prepare their evidence, similar to project
supervision;
• as a specific module where the accreditation process is supported and delivered within a
standard module. Such a module would have learning outcomes in its own right and would be
subject to the normal approval processes.
The students will be assigned an APEL support tutor, who will guide them throughout the process of
APEL assessment.
d) APCL allows recognising of the relevant training prior to starting the course. It requires appropriate
match of the prior study in level and content to the learning outcomes of the respective modules. This
will be organised by the APCL Coordinator of the Faculty.
