At the successful completion of the 4 year MSci course is the student granted a Masters Degree or is the MSci an equivalent?
• On successful completion of our 4 year MSci course a student graduates with an MSci or “Master in Science” (rather than “Master of Science”) degree, which is similar to a BSc plus an MSc but is a single integrated degree. The MSci is classified in the same way that a BSc is classified and students graduate with an MSci in summer, whereas students do not graduate with an MSc until autumn. This is because our MSc includes a 60 credit project that is completed over the summer, whereas our MSci includes a 30 credit project that is completed during the normal academic year in place of taught modules. Hence, an MSc consists of 180 credits, whereas the final year of an MSci consists of 120 credits, as does each of the three previous years.
