Exceptionally: (i) Candidates taking part in an exchange scheme must offer an equivalent approved collection of course options. (ii) Candidates undertaking a twenty-four week placement must offer the equivalent of three C papers from those listed above; the combination of papers selected to be approved by the Chairman of the Faculty of Engineering Science.
Standing Committee for the Honour School of Engineering and Computing ScienceFinal Honour School of Engineering and Computing Science Part II 2009The Standing Committee for the Honour School of Engineering andComputing Science has approved the following subjects for examination in Part II of the Honour School of Engineering and Computing Science 2009. Undergraduates must offer the equivalent of three three-hour papers from those listed below. Engineering: C3A Optoelectronics C3B Advanced Electronics C4A Control Systems C4B Information Engineering C7B Engineering Mathematics Computer Science: Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms* Compilers* Computer Graphics Computer Security Databases Intelligent Systems I Intelligent Systems II Machine Learning* Object Oriented Design Programming Languages* Each of the Engineering C papers will be of three hours in length. The Computer Science papers are all 1½ hours in length and equivalent to half a paper. Each of the papers in the series C3 and C4 will assume knowledge of the material examined in the corresponding Part I paper, B3 Electrical Engineering, or B4 Information Engineering. Object Oriented Programming will be a prerequisite for Object Oriented Design and Intelligent Systems I will be a prerequisite for Intelligent Systems II. * It is not possible to guarantee that these options can be scheduled to avoid a timetable clash with one or more of the Engineering papers listed.
Standing Committee for Engineering, Economics and Management and Related SchoolsHonour School of Engineering, Economics and Management Part II 2009Candidates will be required to take three written papers as follows: The equivalent of one paper from Group C Any two papers from the list of optional Ec and M papers Group C (Engineering) papers Candidates are required to select one whole paper or two half papers from the following list: C1A Thermofluids C1B Mechanics of Materials C2A Structures and Fluids C2B Geotechnics C3A Opto-electronics C3B Advanced Electronics C4A Control Systems C4B Information Engineering C5A Chemical Engineering C5B Bioprocessing C6 Applied Biomedical Engineering C7A Production Engineering C7B Engineering Mathematics Each of the papers in the series C1 to C6 will assume knowledge of the material examined in the corresponding Part I paper, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 or B6. Group Ec (Economics) papers Microeconomics* Macroeconomics Economic Decisions within the Firm Statistical Methods in Economics Econometrics Group M (Management) papers Finance Accounting Marketing Strategic Management Technology and Operations Management* Organisational Behaviour* Papers marked * are taught in Michaelmas Term and will only be available to candidates undertaking internal university projects. Please note that it is not possible to guarantee that the Economics and Management options can be scheduled to avoid a timetable clash with one or more of the Engineering papers listed here. Honour School of Materials, Economics and Management Part II 2009Candidates are required to take any one paper from the list of optional Ec and M papers Group Ec (Economics) papers Macroeconomics Economic Decisions Within the Firm Econometrics* Statistical Methods in Economics * Group M (Management) papers Finance Accounting Marketing Strategic Management Organisational Behaviour * Technology and Operations Management * * The normal MEM programme of study is that set out in the General Scheme of Lectures; however certain additional choices for the Part II MEM Management / Economics option paper are available if your Part II project is based in the Oxford area and your manager / supervisor is willing to allow you to attend Michaelmas Term lectures. You must consult your tutor before opting for one of these additional choices. Students wishing to take Econometrics were also offered the opportunity to attend the Econometrics I lectures in MT of their third year. Please note that we cannot guarantee that there will not be timetable clashes between these additional options choices and compulsory elements of the MEM programme.

A candidate who fails to satisfy the Moderators in his or her initial examination for the First Public Examination shall be permitted to re-enter for the First Public Examination on one further occasion (in accordance with the regulations governing the resit in that subject). The sole exception to this shall be where college academic disciplinary procedures are already in process at the time of the first attempt, and the student has received a written warning which explicitly provides, at least four weeks before the first examination (and subject to the normal college appeal mechanism), that a specified number of failures on identified papers or other elements of the Public Examination at the first attempt will lead to termination of the student's course of study.' 2 Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences BoardHonour School of Materials ScienceWith effect from 1 October 2008In Examination Regulations, 2007, p. 334, l. 41, delete 'Friday' and substitute 'Wednesday'. 3 Continuing Education Board(a) Postgraduate Certificate in Provision of Healthcare to Homeless PeopleWith immediate effect1 In Examination Regulations, 2007, p. 1029, l. 27, delete: 'The Continuing Education Board in consultation with the Divisional Board of Medical Sciences, shall elect' and substitute 'The Continuing Education Board shall elect'. 2 Ibid., l. 28, delete 'standing' and insert 'steering'. 3 Ibid., p. 1030, ll. 6 and 8, delete 'standing' and insert 'steering'.
