INTEGRATED MASTERS DEGREES
The University currently offers a small number of Integrated Masters Degrees (e.g.
the MChem and the MEng). These degrees are of five years duration and integrate
a period of undergraduate study (normally 4 years) with a Masters degree leading to
a single classified award at the end of the programme.
Such degrees are normally in professionally accredited areas of study and the
programmes offered by the University are all accredited by a PSB.
In terms of the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework, these awards at SCQF
level 11 and require a student to achieve a minimum of 600 credit points including at
least 120 credits at SCQF level 11 (AU level 5).
While not an absolute requirement, the Academic Standards Committee in approving
an Integrated Masters degree would normally look for appropriate exit routes for
students who wish to exit early from the programme e.g. with an Honours degree
after 4 years of study. For this reason, the ASC would normally look for the
programme to also meet the SCQF requirements for an Honours degree, namely at
least 180 of the credits being at SCQF levels 9 and 10 (AU levels 3 and 4) with at
least 90 of these being at SCQF level 10 (AU level 4).
Examples of programme prescriptions for two Integrated Masters degrees offered by
the University (an MChem and an MEng) are appended to this paper.
