Welcome Back Year 3!
(BEng, MEng and BSc)
Guidance for Academic Year 2010-2011
![Page 3: Welcome Back Year 4!home.eps.hw.ac.uk/~jds2/Third Year Notice Board_files... · 2010. 9. 7. · • BEng: Year 3 consolidates and extends your grounding in the engineering sciences,](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071505/61255d21954b1b1eb0310188/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Purpose of presentation
• To give you a summary of the basic
information about the 3rd year of your
degree programme
• Brief overview of the core subjects
![Page 4: Welcome Back Year 4!home.eps.hw.ac.uk/~jds2/Third Year Notice Board_files... · 2010. 9. 7. · • BEng: Year 3 consolidates and extends your grounding in the engineering sciences,](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071505/61255d21954b1b1eb0310188/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What I do for you…..
• First line contact: e-mail, phone or face-to-face
– Answer your e-mails: (but not always immediately – depends
on workload!)
– Face-to-face: Make an appointment!
– Can Answer QUICK questions in the corridor
• Handle the following:
– Programme transfers and course changes (important for people
here for one year!)
– Suspension of studies and withdrawals (use the correct form)
– Liaise with Dr Peter Kew and Prof Jim Ritchie on formal
complaints and appeals (DOS can be first point of contact)
![Page 5: Welcome Back Year 4!home.eps.hw.ac.uk/~jds2/Third Year Notice Board_files... · 2010. 9. 7. · • BEng: Year 3 consolidates and extends your grounding in the engineering sciences,](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071505/61255d21954b1b1eb0310188/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Maintain noticeboard:
http://www.mec.hw.ac.uk/localdocs/nb_year3.htm
– Timetables (and any changes to them)
– Advise of Graduate vacancies and further education
opportunities (e.g. PhD studentships)
– Post Semester 1 results (grades only)
– Advise of new policies or guidelines relevant to you
• Tea and sympathy (but bring your own milk)!
What more can I do for you…..
![Page 6: Welcome Back Year 4!home.eps.hw.ac.uk/~jds2/Third Year Notice Board_files... · 2010. 9. 7. · • BEng: Year 3 consolidates and extends your grounding in the engineering sciences,](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071505/61255d21954b1b1eb0310188/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
…..and what you can do for me!
• Follow all prescribed course arrangements and assessment requirements
(tutorials, tests, coursework and examinations)
• Make sure you are registered for 8 courses
• Maintain and regularly check your e-mail account (housekeep)
• Notify of any absence, intended or otherwise through clear written
communication, i.e. by self-certification form, medical documentation, letter
and/or e-mail as appropriate
• Follow University and School HSE policy at all times, e.g. wearing of PPE
when on workshop activities
• Remember that you are representatives of the University when on visits,
external engagements or interfacing with industrial contacts
WE have a Learning and Teaching Agreement (LTA)
See Noticeboard

• Each course is worth 15 credits = 150 hours (60 hours contact+90 hours your own time and effort!)
• You should be registered for 8 courses, 4 per semester
• Semester Arrangements 09-10: Semester 1 Block 1 (Teaching) 13 September – 3 December
Semester 1 Block 2 (Assessment) 6 December – 17 December
Break 1 20 December - 7 January

Be aware of…..
• Plagiarism:
– Shouldn’t be on your radar!
– Can be detected (e.g. Turnitin) and penalties are severe (can even lead
to dismissal from University)
• University-wide policies regarding:
– Late submissions and coursework (see web notice board)
– Use of calculators
– Examination regulations

The coming year in context…..
• BEng: Year 3 consolidates and extends your grounding in the
engineering sciences, design and manufacture, management
(some) and other engineering disciplines.
– Transfer to MEng is possible at the end of Year 3 if your grades
are good enough
• MEng: Year 3 acts as a ‘launch-pad’ for Year 4 and marks your
separation from the BEng.

What is Erasmus?
• European Commission's flagship educational exchange programme for
Higher Education students.
• Gives many European university students their first chance to live and study
abroad.
• UK Erasmus students receive an Erasmus grant (non-repayable grant)
provided by the European Commission which contributes towards the extra
costs arising from studying abroad (€225 per month).
Why go?
• Improve your language skills
• Discover a different culture and gain an international perspective
• Stand out in the job market – a great addition to your CV
• It counts towards your degree – it’s not a gap year

Where can I go?
• Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Portugal,
Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands
For How Long?
• From 3 to 12 Months; usually 1 or 2 consecutive semesters
But I can’t speak a foreign language?
• Many of our partner Universities offer courses through English
Where can I get more information?
