[Academic] 4th/5th year undergraduate projects 2012/13

[Timothy Briggs]

Dear All,
 

Attached is last year’s project booklet,  with updated class numbers and degree types.
 
With a deadline of 17th August, two weeks from today, I am seeking proposals for new fourth year projects (FYP) and for revised versions of those already in the booklet. (It is assumed that projects in the booklet will be available to new students unless they are actively withdrawn by the proposer.)

Last year, 57 project titles were made available to 32 students. There are many more students this year, and we need to offer around 75 projects (including those for 5th years). This is equivalent to 2 projects for each member of staff.
 
The FYP proposal form is attached, and you will find a tentative schedule of procedures and key dates for the upcoming session below this message. These should explain themselves, but ask me if anything is not clear.
 
Please send your paperwork to Lauren Angus who will be responsible for revising the project booklet. Timothy Briggs will also help me with the project allocations and arrangements for the various assessments throughout the year.
 
Regards, 
 
Kevin



Tentative 2012 FYP calendar:
·         Project booklet available to students from 17th September (registration week)
·         Project forms in by noon 28th September (end of week 1)
