Notes

Fields include:
- Sem: Whether Semester 1, Semester 2, or both.
- Pts: Number of credit points. A full load is 120 points per year.
- Times: Start times of lectures. All lectures last 50mins, except where noted. Language lectures last 1hr 50mins or 2hrs. Links to the DRPS were given if the schedule was complicated or unavailable.
- Clash: Common compulsory Inf1 or Inf2 courses that an outside course clashes with.
- Area: C = Central Campus, KB = King’s Buildings.
- Qta: Quota for the course, if relevant.
Consult the 2012-13 Degree Regulations and Programmes of Study (DRPS) for course descriptions and to check details such as pre-requisites, prohibited combinations, locations, first class times, and times of additional components such as tutorials and labs. If viewing this page online, the course codes link to their DRPS entries.
There are many additional level 7 and 8 courses listed in the DRPS that might be suitable as outside courses.
The Timetab utility gives similar information, and can create timetables that help with checking that courses don’t clash. Sometimes Timetab doesn’t tell the full story, so also do a final check of course times given in the DRPS.
