The introduction to ME4 Lecture

This will take place on Tuesday 10th June where each of the AA modules will be introduced.

Core modules

In year 4, in addition to your Final Year Project (worth 25 ECTS), you take an Advanced Application (AA) Module (worth 10 ECTS).

Advanced Application Module

For your AA Module, you must choose one of the following modules:

  • Aircraft Engine Technology
  • Future Clean Transport Technology
  • Metals Processing Technology
  • Mechanical Transmissions Technology

You will then also select five electives, worth 5 ECTS each. A maximum of two of these can be Interdepartmental Exchange (IDX) modules, but it is not a requirement to select any IDX modules.

Choosing your electives

Students on the Nuclear Engineering stream

Students on the Nuclear Engineering stream

If you are taking the Nuclear Engineering stream (H3H8 or H3G2), the following elective modules are compulsory:

  • Nuclear Materials 1
  • Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics
  • Nuclear Reactor Physics

You will then select just two additional elective modules.

Choosing electives

IDX modules

IDX modules are timetabled on Fridays.

The Inter-Departmental Exchange (IDX) page can answer questions, show the term they run and whether they are AM or PM, and also includes module descriptors. Other departments do not provide any further information on their modules.

If you wish to take the Aeronautics IDX modules Applications of Fluid Dynamics OR Spacecraft Propulsion (you cannot take both due to timetabling clashes), your choice should be submitted via DSS by 9am on Monday 23rd June.

For all other IDX modules, your choices will be submitted via the ME Survey by 5pm on Friday 27th June.
