Important information regarding the Programme Regulations
About this document
Last revised: 7 July 2021
As a student registered with the University of London you are governed by the current General
Regulations and Programme Regulations associated with your programme of study.
These Programme Regulations are designed and developed by Goldsmiths which is responsible for
the academic direction of the programme.
In addition to Programme Regulations, you will have to abide by the General Regulations. These
regulations apply to all students registered for a programme of study with the University of London
and provide the rules governing registration and assessment on all programmes; they also indicate
what you may expect on completion of your programme of study and how you may pursue a
complaint, should that be necessary. Programme Regulations should be read in conjunction with the
General Regulations.
The relevant General Regulations and the Programme Regulations relating to your registration with
us are for the current year and not the year in which you initially registered.
On all matters where the regulations are to be interpreted, or are silent, our decision will be final.
Further information about your programme of study is outlined in the Programme Specification
which is available on the relevant Courses page of the website. The Programme Specification gives
a broad overview of the structure and content of the programme as well as the learning outcomes
you will achieve as you progress.
To note
Throughout the Regulations, ‘we’ ‘us’ and ‘our’ mean the University of London; ‘you’ and ‘your’
mean the student, or where applicable, all students.
For the BSc Computer Science programmes, you should note the following
terminology:
Module: Individual units of the programme are called modules. Each module is a self-contained,
formally structured learning experience with a coherent and explicit set of learning outcomes and
assessment criteria.
Core module: Core modules are central to the teaching and learning on the programme and may
introduce concepts and ideas that appear in the compulsory and optional modules..
Compulsory module: Compulsory modules introduce concepts and ideas that appear in optional
modules. Students must take these modules as part of their studies.
Optional module: Optional modules are designed to extend the concepts and ideas introduced in
core and compulsory modules and to introduce other relevant concepts and techniques. Students
select optional modules from a list.

(BSc, Graduate Diploma, Graduate Certificate)
Significant changes made to the Computer Science programme regulations 2021-
2022
• Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma awards are due to launch in April 2022 and are
now included
• Requests for Recognition of Prior Learning are now permitted for Level 5 and Level 6
modules
• Progression from the Performance Based Admissions route to the full award (BSc) has been
updated
• Appendix D ‘Transferring from Computing Information Systems or Creative Computing’ has
been added
• The following modules will be assessed by coursework only Type III assessment:
o Virtual Reality [CM3025]
o Games Development [CM3030]
Alternative Assessments during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak
In these unprecedented times, the University has and continues to respond quickly to the impact of
COVID-19, which has resulted in changes to our assessment processes.
In line with our current General Regulations, the University may offer you alternative assessments
where necessary. This includes holding online timed assessments in place of written examinations,
which are usually held at examination centres. Please note that this statement replaces any
published information relating to assessments or written examinations in any of our materials
including the website. Previously published materials relating to examinations should therefore be
read in conjunction with this statement.
The University of London continues to work towards supporting the academic progression of all its
students. The University also continues to be mindful of the health and wellbeing of its students
during this pandemic, whilst protecting the academic standards of its awards.
