EECS Student Handbook 2024/25

Change of Programmes

EECS has implemented a strict no change of programme policy. It applies to change of programme requests within the school and for students from other schools requesting to transfer to one of our programmes. This policy has been set and approved by the School Senior Management Team and our Director of Recruitment and Admissions. 

If you would like to discuss adding or removing IE to/from your programme of study after your first year of study please email eecsprogadm@qmul.ac.uk directly.

If the new programme of study is outside of the school, you will be referred to the designated member of staff in the department responsible for the new programme. If the change is approved by all departments involved, a College Change of Programme of Study form are available from the Academic Registry website at https://www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/students/study/changing-programme/index.html must be completed and signed by a member of the Teaching Services Team and the designated member of staff from any other department involved. The student may be assigned a new tutor/Adviser as a result of the change.

Module Selection

Module registration is handled online by the QMUL Student Information System (SIS). You should choose or confirm your modules for the whole academic year before or during the enrolment period at the start on Semester A. There will be a specific time-frame in which you are expected to submit your selections, this will be communicated to you ahead of time via email. If you do not submit your selections during the specified dates, we cannot guarantee acceptance onto your chosen module due to possible timetabling and capacity restraints. Late selections will be reviewed on a case by case basis. You will have the opportunity to change the choices you made for Semester B at the start on the new term in January.

To register for your modules you will need to login to MySIS http://mysis.qmul.ac.uk using your QMUL computer login details and select ‘Module Registration’ from the menu on the left.  Any core or compulsory modules will already be preselected and you will not be able to change them. Elective modules can be selected from the lists.

Once you have made your module selection and are happy with your choices you should click the ‘Submit Selections’ button. This is an important step and if it is not followed through your module choices will not go through the system. Your module selections will then be available to the Teaching Services Team.

It is essential that you check your QMUL email daily and respond quickly if any of your modules registrations are rejected. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that there are no timetable clashes for the modules you have selected. Module registration must be completed within the first 2 weeks of teaching.

We do have some modules that have limited spaces and priority will be given to students who are required to take these as part of their recommended programme.

It is possible for you to modify your choices up until the second week of each semester. To do so you will need to speak to a member of the Teaching Services Team and ask them to reject your selection. Please note, if you wish to modify your modules past the original deadline for module selection, there is no guarantee that this will be approved due to timetabling and capacity restraints.
