3 Choosing your subjects Choosing YOUr subjects The academic year is divided into two semesters of 15 weeks 222 UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 201 Queen s University Belfast
4 Studying for a degree/the modular system For a typical three-year degree programme you will take six Level 1 modules at Stage 1, followed by 12 modules at Levels 2 and, with your choice of module governed by the requirements of the degree programme and provided that: i) you meet the necessary criteria (if there are any) to take the modules ii) it is possible to timetable both classes and examinations for the chosen combination of modules iii) there is a place available in the class However, you need to be aware that admission to some high-demand subjects at Stage 1 or Stage 2 may be restricted to those who have applied for and been accepted into those courses through UCAS. Many students will wish to follow degree programmes which offer a more limited choice of modules (eg Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Law, Engineering, Accounting) because of the needs of the professions concerned. In some academic areas you may be able to study for a Joint Honours Degree (equal numbers of modules in two different subjects). Check in the Course Requirements section on page 21 to find out where this is possible. Studying for a degree/ The modular system The academic year is divided into two semesters of 15 weeks (with provision for Christmas and Easter vacations within semesters). Each semester is 12 teaching weeks followed by examinations. Most degree courses (also known as programmes) consist of 18 modules, normally taken over a period of three years ( Stages). Full-time students take six modules each year, with choice governed by content of the degree course. Some subject areas offer opportunity to study abroad as part of the Erasmus Programme (see also page 55). A number of degree courses are more than three years in duration (see Course Requirements section), because they include a sandwich element of work placement or a year abroad. Some subject areas offer extended undergraduate degree courses (eg the MEng four-year degree). Advice and support Students will have access to a Welcome pack containing a copy of the University s General Regulations, the Student Charter and information about registering on their degree programme. Students will also receive information regarding Welcome Week and the Vice-Chancellor s Welcome to students and parents. Your Personal Tutor/Adviser of Studies, assigned to you when you enrol, will support you throughout your course and will be available to discuss matters related to your choice of modules and, subsequently, your general academic performance, and highlight support services available to you. You will be encouraged to perform academically and to participate in Degree Plus that will add value to your Queen s experience. For further details about modules, consult the Book of Modules at: Each module will involve assessment assignments, essays, practical reports, projects, etc. Examinations are normally held at the end of the semester in which the module is taken. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 22
5 Teaching, learning and assessment Teaching, learning and assessment You may find that the approach to learning and teaching at university is different from that experienced at school or college. You should make use of the opportunities and support available to you to help gain the best degree you can. You will experience a variety of classes lectures, tutorials, seminars, practical instruction, laboratory, etc. Small groups will meet regularly with a tutor to discuss their subject, their work and opinions in depth, which also permits the sharing and testing of each other s knowledge ie checking the relevance of your reading and the basis of your arguments. Practical instruction, laboratory and fieldwork are normally associated with science and engineering-related subjects. Each module will involve assessment assignments, essays, practical reports, projects, exams, etc. You will get feedback on academic work from your lecturer or from other students, which may help you progress and improve the quality of your work. If you need help with academic skills to help you improve, contact the Learning Development Service for support and guidance (see page 1). The University places considerable emphasis on teaching informed by research of national and international standing, and promotes innovative methods of teaching and assessment to enhance the quality of your learning experience. There is an increasing use of e-learning throughout the University. Using Queen s Online you will be able to follow up, in your own time, topics and ideas introduced in lectures. The University is committed to ensuring that students graduate with a good degree, including the development of a range of transferable skills and experience necessary for challenging and successful careers. Courses are therefore structured to help develop your academic skills critical analysis, report writing, etc, including skills such as communication, information and communications technology, team working and time management. Queen s has strong links with many companies and organisations in the private, public and voluntary sectors. The Science Shop provides opportunities for students from all University departments to engage in stimulating, fulfilling and career-enhancing projects with non-profit organisations (see page 2). Placements varying from 12 weeks to a year in length form part of a number of courses in Agriculture, Computer Science, Languages, Finance and Engineering and may include work abroad. Opportunities exist to study for a semester, or more, abroad under international exchange schemes. Students are encouraged to make use of the University s extra-curricular programme such as sports, volunteering and serving in sabbatical posts in the Students Union. This also includes the Degree Plus Award, which has been designed to enhance your employability through the recognition and evidence of your extracurricular activities and achievements. You will be supported in formulating a Personal Development Plan through an online e-folio mechanism (electronic portfolio) to assist you to plan how you can make the most of your Queen s experience. This will ultimately provide evidence for your CV or applications for employment or postgraduate study. Your academic and extra-curricular achievements will be recorded on your Transcript and Diploma Supplement. Make use of the opportunities available the more you take, the better you will become. 22 UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 201 Queen s University Belfast
6 Meet the students Name: Daniel Parsons Course: French Studies (first year) School: Modern Languages From: London PROFILE There are a number of reasons why I chose to come to Queen s: I heard positive recommendations from former language students who had studied at the University; I gained a strong positive impression of the University when I attended Queen s Open Days; and I welcomed the opportunity to study and live in Belfast and experience the sense of adventure associated with moving to a new place. The blend of the traditional and the contemporary at Queen s creates a very positive atmosphere in which to learn. I am always impressed at the range of facilities, particularly in IT and specific applications for language learning, provided by the McClay Language Centre. The French Studies programme is very well organised with various areas of study complementing one another. The subject materials are varied and appealing to anyone with an interest in the French language and culture. As a mature student, I would say the student experience has been truly lifechanging. I have made use of the University s support services, which have been extremely helpful in making the transition from full-time employment to higher education. It is clear that Queen s embraces diversity and as a non-northern Ireland student I have been made to feel extremely welcome. Belfast is a fantastic place in which to study and live. There is a real sense of vibrancy and a forward-looking atmosphere to the city. To watch Daniel's full video interview, log on to: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 225
7 Admissions and entrance requirements Admissions and entrance requirements The General Entrance Requirement can be satisfied in a number of ways 226 UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 201 Queen s University Belfast

9 Admissions and entrance requirements English language requirements for international students One of the under-noted approved tests in English may be offered in place of GCSE English Language: i) IGCSE English Language or a recognised overseas O-level English Language ii) The Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE). (For some degree programmes the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) may be acceptable.) iii) The University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) GCE O-level English Language Syllabus number 1119 iv) The British Council IELTS Test v) TOEFL IBT (Internet-Based) vi) INTO English Test vii) Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic viii) HKDSE Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Further information on other acceptable English Language qualifications is available at: Details of the English Language requirements for entry to each undergraduate degree programme can be found in the individual course descriptions. Recognised subjects All subjects set by recognised examination boards are, in principle, acceptable in fulfilment of the General Entrance Requirement. The University will take account of restrictions imposed by the examination boards and possible overlap between subjects. In considering applications from candidates, individual departments or Schools reserve the right to take account of the range, content and number of subjects being offered. A/AS-level General Studies and A-level Critical Thinking are not normally included as part of conditional offers. Applicants who require advice about acceptability of any subject should contact the Admissions and Access Service. 228 UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 201 Queen s University Belfast
10 Criteria for offers Criteria for offers iii) In the case of applicants who take qualifications a year earlier than is the norm, the grade(s) achieved will be taken into account in the fulfilment of the target. The standard conditional offer is usually made with a note added to indicate that performance in the previous year will be counted. The Prospectus is prepared well in advance of the academic year to which it relates. Therefore, the target grades stated here and in the Degree Subjects section are for guidance only. Please refer to the Course Finder on the University s website, which will have current grade requirements All applicants are considered individually on their merits and the full information on the application form, including the personal statement and reference, is taken into account. Competition for places varies considerably between courses and it is to be expected, therefore, that the factors taken into account by individual course selectors will vary. The following general points are likely to apply: i) Overall academic background and, in particular, performance at GCSE and AS-level or in the first year of a BTEC/ OCR Level or Access Course qualifications is important, particularly for high demand programmes. Predicted grades are not normally used, except in very borderline cases. ii) Offers for repeat candidates, or for those who have taken an extra year to achieve the grades required, may be higher for some subject areas. Course Selectors would not normally consider applicants who have had more than two attempts at obtaining the required qualifications for admission. Further restrictions may apply for high demand courses. iv) For students who have studied beyond A-level, performance at this level may also be taken into account. v) In addition to academic criteria, interviews, admissions/aptitude tests, auditions, etc form part of the selection process for some courses. vi) vii) Some course selectors may take into consideration experience, motivation and commitment to the chosen course. Offers are made in terms of grades rather than UCAS Tariff points. This means that a minimum grade in any qualification may be specified. Offers will normally be made on the basis of three A-levels. Alternative offers may also be made in terms of three A-levels plus a fourth AS-level and additional subjects at AS/A-level will be taken into account in August in borderline cases. Please note that some courses require three A-levels plus one AS-level (Actuarial Science and Risk Management, Dentistry and Medicine). viii) Currently conditional offers will not be made in terms of grades in individual AS/ A2 modules nor on the basis of an A* at A-level, though the latter is under review for 201 entry and may be introduced for a very small number of degree programmes. However, this information may be used in a tie-break situation after release of A-level results in August. ix) Where candidates do not certify their AS-level examination results, at the end FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 229
11 Criteria for offers of Year 1 (Year 12 England and Wales), it is helpful if the equivalent grades are given in the academic reference or personal statement since performance in these may affect whether or not a conditional offer is made. x) Evidence of depth of study will be required and this will be reflected in the grades specified in the core of two GCE General/ GCE Applied A-levels or a Double Award Applied A-level. xi) Course selectors, especially for the highdemand courses, may not equate the points score of two AS-levels to that of one A-level. In cases where a mixture of A- and AS-levels is being offered, selectors are likely to ask for the higher grades in the A-level component rather than the AS component. xiv) The University recognises the value of skills developed in the Extended Project, which is an integral part of the Diploma qualification. For A-level applicants, who decide to undertake the Extended Project, this will normally be acceptable in place of the fourth AS-level subject in a three A-levels plus one AS-level conditional offer. UCAS Entry Profiles Applicants should refer to the Entry Profiles on the UCAS website at: for further details about selection procedures for individual degree courses. xii) In many cases, where there are no specific course requirements, GCE General and GCE Applied A-level qualifications may be interchangeable and there is generally no restriction on the number of Applied A-level subjects which can be offered. xiii) Key Skills, Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (COPE) and the Open University s Young Applicants for Schools and Colleges Scheme (YASS): the University considers that additional qualifications such as these are important and students are encouraged to develop skills whether or not it is through a formal qualification, however, the University does not at this stage require them for any course. Nevertheless, they may be used in a tie-break situation. 20 UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 201 Queen s University Belfast
12 A-level and Irish Leaving Certificate entrance requirements A-level and Irish LeavING CertifICATe entrance Requirements The A-level and Irish Leaving Certificate Course Requirements table lists all subjects that can be studied at Queen s, singly or in combination, as a significant part of a degree. A separate table is also provided for Access/ Foundation Studies courses on page 25. Information about standards required in terms of other qualifications, such as the International Baccalaureate Diploma, BTEC and OCR qualifications is given on page 257. These should be treated as a guide only. Column 1 gives a list of subjects in alphabetical order. Courses marked with a 'P' offer a placement option. Students taking the placement will have an additional year added to their course. Those participating normally receive remuneration. Column 2 indicates the different weightings assigned to that subject as part of the final degree assessment: S = Single Honours M = Major Honours (2/ weighting) J = Joint Honours (1/2 weighting) Column gives the duration of the course. Courses involving the study of a foreign language as a Single, Major or Joint Honours subject require a year to be spent in the appropriate country (or countries, in the case of Joint Honours). Columns and 5 indicate the target grades in terms of A-levels and GCSEs and the Irish Leaving Certificate. These grades should be treated as a guide only, as variations can occur in certain circumstances. For example, offers for repeat candidates, or for those who have taken an extra year to achieve the grades required, may be higher for some subject areas. Where subjects are offered as Joint Honours, the entrance requirements are stated separately under each subject heading. Where an A-level/Irish Leaving Certificate Higher Level Science subject is required it should be noted that a different range of subjects may be acceptable for individual courses. Offers for international students As there are different intake quotas, for some courses grades for students from outside the European Union may be lower than those listed, depending on competition for places. Details may be obtained from the Admissions and Access Service. Column 6 gives page references to the Degree Subject Section (for course content and other information). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 21
