Degree structure

The detailed content for a degree programmes is known as Degree Programme Tables (DPT).

The DPTs give you an in-depth insight into the compulsory courses and optional courses available on your degree programme.  DPTs are updated each year, so details may change for future years of your programme.

DPTs also have detailed information about each course that includes:

  • the syllabus
  • methods of assessment
  • modes of feedback
  • learning outcomes

Both High Performance Computing (HPC) and HPC with Data Science share the same core sets of compulsory courses. The programmes' main differences emerge in the optional courses open to both. The focus of both programmes is very much on the HPC side. Course information from the current academic year is linked below for reference, but some details of courses may change year-on-year.

You can  view the DPTs for 2024-25 below, which will give you an indication of how your programme will be structured.
