Introduction
Welcome to the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College. In this handbook you will find much
essential information;you are expected to read this carefully and to use it as your first point of reference
for any queries. This handbook is continually being updated so always check for the latest version online.
Although some of the teaching staff you meet will come from outside this Department, most of your time
will be spent in the Aeronautics Buildings (ACE and Roderic Hill), Skempton and City&Guilds Buildings
(Building 27 and 28 https://workspace.imperial.ac.uk/campusinfo/public/sthkencampus.pdf). The
following notes are designed to help you make the best use of your time and of the facilities and services
provided. New students should also refer to the College website below but is also a useful resource for
current students.
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/students/newstudents
1.1
Overview of the Programme
The course provides advanced training in: computational methods; the underlying theory and physical
principles; appropriate experimental techniques. Graduates from the course are likely to find employment
over a broad spectrum of opportunities, both aerospace and non-aerospace.
The course is assessed both by written examination, including associated coursework, together with a
substantial individual research project of about five months' duration. Through links with industry, it is
possible for projects to be supervised in part by staff from industry or for projects to be carried out in
industry. The normal duration of the course is one year full-time or two years part-time.
Full programme specifications can be found on the link below: TBC

Attendance
Attendance at all timetabled events is expected and will be monitored. It is a requirement for the award
of the MSc that students attend at least 90% of each set (i.e. topic) of lectures you are registered for and
failure to do so may result in a student being asked to withdraw from the course. If you are absent from
any class because of illness or for some other reason you should contact the Postgraduate Administrator
as soon as possible before the event. Students who repeatedly fail to attend will be asked to withdraw
from the course (see Course Directors section in this handbook for further information).
4.1
Lecturer Attendance
5.
Notes on Student Life
If your lecturer hasnt arrived within 10 minutes of scheduled start time then please inform the
Postgraduate Administrator or the Teaching Office who will contact the lecturer to see where he/she is.
For lectures not held in Aeronautics Buildings then students (preferably one of the year representatives)
are asked to ring the Postgraduate Administrator (020 7594 5066) or Teaching Office (020 7594
5100/5102). Please do not leave the lecture room until notified by admin staff.
5.1
Timetable
5.1.1 Viewing your Timetable
You will be sent an automatic email notification (to your Imperial email account) from the Timetable Unit
before your first lecture with details of how to view your calendar on your Imperial College Outlook
calendar. Please follow the instructions given and if you require assistance subscribing to the Celcat
iCalendar service they have provided help pages which are available here:
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/facilitiesmanagement/timetabling/mytimetable/Help/index.html
Alternatively, you can contact the ICT Service Desk on 49000 or http://www.imperial.ac.uk/adminservices/ict/
If you have any queries about the content (not access issues) of your timetable please contact the
Postgraduate Administrator.
5.1.2 Timetable Check
Students are automatically registered for all courses and in the first week, students should check that they
are correctly timetabled to do all the courses in the Autumn term. Optional courses lists for both Autumn
and Spring terms are on the Departmental Student System (DSS) http://www.imperial.ac.uk/dss. Any
apparent errors or clashes should be reported to the Postgraduate Administrator immediately.
Students will be advised of any changes made at short notice to their timetable via email or
announcements on Blackboard Learn https://bb.imperial.ac.uk. Students are advised to check their emails
and login to Blackboard Learn on a daily basis (preferably start and end of day).
5.1.3 Timetable Compilation
Timetabling staff have a number of constraints to consider when compiling the timetables e.g. academic
staff availability as staff lecture across all undergraduate and postgraduate years, shared teaching space
with other departments, sourcing rooms dependent on class size etc. We always try to ensure
timetabling is as efficient as possible for students by scheduling lectures as much as we can together and
to try and schedule in the same building.
5.2
Communications
Communication within the department relies heavily on email and announcements on Blackboard Learn
and you should check both on a daily basis as previously stated (preferably start and end of day).
Information devoted to your year is posted on your year noticeboard which can be found on the second
floor corridor of the Roderic Hill Building. The student post rack is also located on this floor where any
mail (please note we will not receive personal packets/parcels/registered post for students so please do
not have delivered to the Department) received by the Teaching Office for you will be distributed. You
should visit both sources of information fairly frequently.
6
If you need to contact a member of staff by telephone or email then you can refer to the Departmental
web page http://www.imperial.ac.uk/engineering/departments/aeronautics/people/academic/ for staff
extension numbers and email addresses.
5.3
Student Names
5.4
Study Rooms
Can all students please ensure that they use their official names (i.e. the names used in college registers)
on coursework and official forms in the Department and College. If you are seriously unhappy with using
your given name please contact the Registry to re-register under your name of choice. The new name will
then have to be implemented in all College registers (e-mail address, ICT-accounts, departmental registers
etc). You may imagine the problems such a procedure will cause for you and the College.
You will probably wish to do some private study in College; there is a study room (E254) located on the 2nd
floor of the Ace Extension Building. There is another study room 265, Roderic Hill, which is located
adjacent to the Teaching Office.
You may also use any lecture or tutorial room in the Aeronautics Building which happens to be vacant
(timetables on room doors).
In addition the student break out space (BOSS) on Level 2 of the Skempton Building provides an informal
study space for engineering students, comprising PC/laptop benching, comfortable seating and meeting
spaces. The area is provided with drinking water, vending machines, copiers and a recycling station.
We would ask that if you use any rooms, these should be kept tidy at all times. Please note that no food
or drink (except for water) are to be consumed in any of the lecture rooms. Students are also asked not
to eat or drink near any of the computers in rooms in the Department.
5.5
Careers/What do Imperial Graduates do?
Details of jobs will be posted on the careers boards (2nd Floor, Roderic Hill Building) and in some
instances emailed to you. New posts are notified to us throughout the year, so check regularly.
The Careers Advisory Service provides a varied and comprehensive careers guidance, information and
vacancy service for all students of Imperial College http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/careers.
In the Careers Advisory Service we conduct a survey of the destinations of Imperial graduates. This survey
is called the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Educations Survey (DLHE) and is carried out using
guidelines and standard documentation from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA).
We investigate what graduates of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees have moved on to six months
after graduation. This research continues to demonstrate the impressive employability of Imperial
graduates, even within the early stages of their career.
http://www.imperial.ac.uk/careers/exploring-your-options/destinations/postgraduates/
5.6
Student Financial Support
Here you will find information on various funding schemes available for prospective and current
undergraduate and postgraduate students. There is also information on Tuition Fees and guidance on
how much you can expect to spend while studying at Imperial.
http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/fees-and-funding/
5.7 Accreditation/Professional Membership
Accreditation of the Advanced Aeronautical Engineering programme by the Royal Aeronautical Society
(RAeS) is currently pending.
Students are encouraged to apply for membership for to RAeS.
http://aerosociety.com/Membership/whichmembership/student FREE
7
5.8 Sharepoint Student Portal
Sharepoint is a team and document collaboration system. Sharepoint is an internal facing website, which
means you cannot view any content without an IC user account. Students can view general information
about the department and College, past Project reports via the Student Portal on Sharepoint:
https://share.imperial.ac.uk/foe/Aero/student-portal/Pages/default.aspx
All students should have access to this. If you find you do not then please contact the Postgraduate
Administrator.
5.9 Seminars
Seminars are regularly held throughout the year, scheduled on Wednesday afternoons, usually given by
external speakers on topics ranging from specialist research problems to more general issues. Students
are expected to attend all such seminars falling within your field of interest. The seminar programme will
be
circulated,
and
can
also
be
seen
on
the
Departmental
web
site
(http://www.imperial.ac.uk/engineering/departments/aeronautics/seminars/). Usually we gather for tea
in the Staff Common Room, (Room 255 RODH), after the seminar, and this is a valuable, regular
opportunity for the postgraduates and academic staff to get together.
You are also encouraged to attend the seminars held in other departments as advertised on the Seminars
notice board opposite the post racks.
5.10
Students Obligations
Students have obligations with regard to submission of work and meeting deadlines, as well as attending
lectures and other activities. Attendance is therefore important, if only as a mark of respect and good
manners.
As this is a postgraduate course, students are expected to read additional information (books, papers) in
support of the lectures, to assist them in passing the written examinations, and also to provide
complementary material for inclusion in laboratory reports. The individual (research) project will clearly
need wide reading to provide the necessary background, and to provide comparative information against
which the students own work can be measured.
5.10
English Classes for Overseas Students
The Centre for Academic English (CfAE) offers classes, the majority of which are free of charge, to
students and members of Imperial College London who are not native speakers of English. If you are
interested in joining a class or have been told by us that you must attend English classes then please see
website below for full details. http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/academic-english
5.11 Imperials Student Space

University is not just for studying equip yourself to live life well at Student Space:
http://www.imperial.ac.uk/student-space/
5.12
Imperial College Postgraduate Open Day
You may wish to continue your studies either in the Department or at Imperial. Please see website below
containing information on the Colleges open day in December.
http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/open-days-and-visits/

6.1
Course Directors Note for Students

Sources of Help
For problems associated with specific lecture courses, consult the lecturer concerned with that subject
(contact details on Blackboard Learn under relevant module).
On matters of general departmental administration and for problems associated with course
administration (e.g. course selection and timetabling), please contact the Postgraduate Administrator
8
For general academic advice (e.g. on academic progress) and advice on personal problems, both
academic and non-academic consult the course director, but students are free to consult any member of
staff. Your project supervisor will often be able to resolve many of your difficulties, especially those
connected specifically with your research project.
PG Tutor (All MSc Programmes): Professor Sergei Chernyshenko (s.chernyshenko@imperial.ac.uk). The
tutor's role is to provide pastoral support to students.
Disability Liaison Officer: Dr George Papadakis (g.papadakis@imperial.ac.uk)
Tutor for Women: Dr Aimee Morgan (a.morgans@imperial.ac.uk)
Students are also welcome to contact the College Tutors if they feel that advice from outside the
Department is appropriate. http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/students/collegetutors
If your problem is one that you do not wish to discuss with a member of the Department, the Student
Counsellors have many years experience in helping students and will deal with any kind of personal
problem in confidence. They are very easy to approach and know where to direct you for any special help
required. Contact details for the Student Counsellors and other sources of help within the College can be
found on http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/students/welfareandadvice
It would be difficult to over-emphasize the importance of seeing someone early on when a problem
arises. It is a good idea to mention difficulties to the course director, even if you expect to be able to deal
with the problem yourself - it may well be that we have knowledge which will lead to a cure without more
ado. You will be able to expect any matters that you wish to be kept confidential to remain so and this
will hold regardless of whom you turn to for advice.
Lastly, if you should find yourself in the position of needing help or advice, and you are summoning up the
courage to knock on someones door, remember that the person on the other side of it will undoubtedly
be at least sympathetic because he/she will be experienced in walks of life other than that in which you
see him/her in the Department. Often members of the College staff have families of their own, even with
adult children of a similar age to you. Remember also that, more often than not, they were once students
too!
For jury service exemption letters, statement of attendance letters (for council tax, accommodation),
transcripts etc please contact Registry Department on records@imperial.ac.uk. Full information on the
services Registry provide see website at http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/registry/abouttheregistry
The College Health Centre can be used for all medical problems, and there is also a dentist on the
campus. See website for further details
http://www.imperialcollegehealthcentre.co.uk/
Advice and information can also be obtained from the Students Union offices
https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/
The Imperial Study Guide for Masters Students
This is an extremely useful document that can be found at
https://workspace.imperial.ac.uk/college/public/pdfs/ISGMasters.pdf
6.2
Information for Students with disabilities, specific learning difficulties or long-term

health issues.
At Imperial College we recognise that studying at university can be a challenge, especially if you have a
disability. We are keen that you have every opportunity to fulfil your potential and graduate with the degree
you deserve. It is therefore important that you let us know about any disability, specific learning difficulty or
health problem as soon as possible so that we can give expert advice and support to enable you to do this.
Some people never think of themselves as having a disability, but students who have experienced any of
the issues listed below have found that a little extra help and support has made all the difference to their
study experience.
Specific learning difficulties (such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, AD[H]D)
Autistic spectrum disorder (such as Aspergers)
Deafness or hearing difficulties
Long term mental health difficulties (such as chronic anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression)
Medical conditions (such as epilepsy, arthritis, diabetes, Crohns disease)
Physical disabilities or mobility impairments
Visual difficulties
Where to find help:
6.2.1 Disability Liaison Officer
Dr George Papadakis, Room E355, ext 45080, email: g.papadakis@imperial.ac.uk

Dr George Papadakis is your first point of contact within your department and is there to help you with
arranging any support within the department that you need.
6.2.2 Disability Advisory Service
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/disabilityadvisoryservice
The Disability Advisory Service works with individual students no matter what their disability to ensure
that they have the support they need. We can also help if you think that you may have an unrecognised
study problem such as dyslexia. Our service is both confidential (information about you is only passed on
to other people in the university with your agreement) and individual in that any support is tailored to
what you need.
Some of the sorts of things we can help with are:
Being an advocate on your behalf with others in the College such as your departmental liaison
officer, senior tutor or exams officer, the accommodation office or the estates department
Checking that your evidence of disability is appropriate and up-to-date
Arranging a diagnostic assessment for specific learning difficulties
Help with applying to the College for the cost of an assessment
Help with your application for the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) see below
Helping students not eligible for the Disabled Students Allowance in obtaining support from
other sources
Help with arranging extra Library support
Supporting applications for continuing accommodation for your second or later years
6.2.3 Disabled Students Allowance
Students who are home for fees and who have a disability can apply for a grant called the Disabled
Students Allowance which can pay any extra costs that are a direct result of disability. This fund is not
means-tested and is also a grant not a loan so any home student with a disability can apply and will not be
expected to pay it back. Remember students with unseen disabilities such as mental health difficulties,
dyslexic type difficulties or long term health problems are also eligible for this fund.
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/disabilityadvisoryservice/supportatimperial/funding
6.3
Student Withdrawal Procedure
The Academic Regulations require that a student admitted to any course of study must attend to the
satisfaction of the Head of Department. The College reserves the right to require any student whose
academic progress is unsatisfactory or who fails in an examination to withdraw from the College.
Withdrawal decisions may be taken at any time during the session.
When academic progress is considered so unsatisfactory as to be likely to lead to a withdrawal decision
during the session, the Course Director will clearly warn you of this possibility in good time (i.e. a
10
minimum of six weeks notice), both orally and in writing. In giving such warnings the position in respect
of coursework and its significance in assessment will be made clear.
If your academic progress continues to be unsatisfactory after the issue of a warning and if, following
discussions with you, it is the view of the Department that there are no or insufficient extenuating
circumstances, a decision that you be required to withdraw may be made by the Head of Department and
shall be reported to the Academic Registrar for formal communication to you.
For full details on Student Withdrawals and Appeals please refer to
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/registry/proceduresandregulations/regulations#regstud
6.4
Special Examination Arrangements
If you wish to apply for special examination arrangements then you need to make the Postgraduate
Administrator aware that you intend to apply during the first two weeks of the Autumn term (regardless
of when your exams take place). The relevant documents then must be submitted as detailed in the
sections below. (As physical disabilities may occur at any time during the year due to accidents etc then
please notify the Postgraduate Administrator immediately and submit Appendix A).
For further details and documents referred to in the sections below please go to:
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/registry/exams/specialexamarrangements
College Health Centre: If you cannot arrange an appointment quickly with your own GP then please go to
the College Health Centre. When booking appointments please ensure you mention it is to apply for
Special Examination Arrangements.
http://www.imperialcollegehealthcentre.co.uk/
Disabilities Office: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/disabilityadvisoryservice
6.5
Extenuating/Mitigating Circumstances Affecting Academic Performance
Sometimes you might feel that you performed badly in an exam or a piece of coursework, or failed to
attend an exam or hand in a piece of work at all, for an unavoidable reason that was not your fault, like
illness, an accident or a distressing experience. The College understands this and has procedures for
making sure that you are given special consideration if your work is affected by reasons out of your
control.
If you think you deserve special consideration, the two most important things are as follows:
You MUST inform the Postgraduate Administrator as soon as you know that you might have been
affected. If it is going to affect your performance in an exam, try to tell us before the exam starts
and ideally you should have already been to the Imperial College Health Centre for assessment
(please refer to later section Illness in Connection to Exams).
For exams and major coursework, you MUST collect and present evidence to show that you have
experienced extenuating circumstances. This could be a doctor's note, a death certificate, a Police
crime number or any other relevant documentation that you can acquire. It must be in English or
an official translation into English.
Once you have notified a member of staff and obtained evidence, you must complete the relevant
Request for Mitigation form and submit it with the relevant required documentation. There are two
different forms: one for exams and major coursework, and one for late or missed minor coursework;
ensure you fill in the correct one. (Mitigation for missed or late minor coursework does not require
evidence.)
On this form, you will need to give a complete account of your extenuating circumstances, attach your
evidence if needed, and hand it back to the Postgraduate Administrator within 5 days (see last paragraph
in this section). The information on the form will be kept strictly confidential and only read by a small
panel of academic staff, who will decide if your circumstances were unavoidable and affected your
performance; they will pass their verdict to the Board of Examiners, who can give you special
11
consideration. They may also pass on some information on your personal circumstances to the Board,
unless you tell them not to on the form. Forms are available from forms rack near student hatch or can
be downloaded from
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/registry/proceduresandregulations/policiesandprocedures/examinationasses
sment
It is essential that you provide a full, honest account of the situation on the form. The more information
you give, the fairer the verdict will be. If you withhold information at the outset, it may not be considered
if you reveal it later. In addition, putting false information on the form could lead to severe punishment,
as it would be considered cheating.
Please note that as stated on the mitigation forms your application (including supporting
documentation) must be submitted within 5 working days of the examination or coursework
submission date. Applications submitted after this 5 day period will not be considered. Ideally medical
certificates should be obtained from Imperial College Health Centre. If supplied from other UK based
practitioner they should be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) as stated on the
mitigation form.
6.6
Failures in Studies
All decisions on student failures are taken by the Examiners Meeting, and are confirmed by the Chair of
the Exam Board (course director). Students who fail any exams are allowed to re-sit the failed exams the
following year (please note that you are only allowed to resit failed examinations or resubmit coursework
on ONE further occasion i.e. two attempts in total for any one exam or coursework).
6.7 Common Problems and Issues

6.7.1 Coursework Extensions
Illness or serious personal problems/family matters may sometimes prevent you from completing a
coursework on time. In such cases the Course Director may occasionally allow an extension. All requests
for extensions must be filed on a coursework extension request form, which can be obtained from the
forms rack outside the Student Hatch (Teaching Office) or from the Postgraduate Administrator and
should be submitted to the Postgraduate Administrator . The form should contain a clear motivation for
the request and shall, if possible, be accompanied by supporting documents (e.g. doctors letters, police
reports etc). Other academic staff are not allowed to give extensions, but ask your supervisor or
coursework marker to put their initials and date on the form if they support your application. You will be
notified of the Course Directors decision by email.
The following problems are normally not acceptable reasons for an extension:
Loss of data due to lack of back-up files.
Minor illness/equipment problems during a long project.
Congestion of work due to poor planning of your time.
Printer problems (plan printing your report several hours before hand-in time and make sure you
have a back up printer).
6.7.2 Illness or Personal Problems Affecting Your Studies
If you feel that an illness or personal problems seriously affect your studies you should report it as soon as
possible to the Course Director, and discuss the situation with them. It is important to submit any doctors
letters or other evidence as soon as possible as these may have to be considered while evaluating your
performance during the year.
6.7.3 Doctors Letters etc
All doctors letters should normally be issued by the College Health Centre, who accept all College
students during normal office hours irrespective of where they live. Letters from other doctors will
normally only be accepted if you have been unable to reach the Health Centre due to hospitalisation,
closures, a long distance to College, or where a specialist examination has been required.
Any doctors letter should clearly state your name, case history (start date and duration), your illness,
12
symptoms and their effect on your performance. It must also include full contact details of the doctor.
The College Health Centre has specialists in mental health and wellbeing, but some personal problems are
obviously better dealt with by non-medical experts. Letters from counsellors, religious leaders etc will be
considered whenever relevant.
6.7.4 Illness in Connection to Exams
If you feel that an illness will seriously affect your exam performance you must report this before the
exam or as soon as possible after and should provide evidence in form of a doctors letter. The fact that an
illness has hampered your exam preparations is not sufficient to not sit an exam, but will be considered in
the evaluation of your exam results. However, remember that you are expected to prepare for the exam
during the entire year and not just during two weeks prior to the exam!
If an ongoing illness prevents you from sitting an exam this must be supported by a doctors letter clearly
stating that you are unfit to sit the exam. If you become ill just before an exam you are expected to turn
up at the College Health Centre at 8:30 am to be examined (tell reception that you are supposed to sit an
exam to be seen urgently), unless you can show that you were unable to reach the College due to your
illness. If you become ill during an exam you will be escorted to the College Health Centre for
examination.
6.7.5 Religious Obligations in Assessments

The Department will where possible assist students with religious obligations where there are
any clashes with examination assessments. Students are asked to read the following and inform
the Postgraduate Administrator of any such instances immediately.
https://workspace.imperial.ac.uk/registry/Public/Exams/Exams%20and%20religious%20obligations.pdf
6.7.6 Interruption of Studies
If you are unable to continue your studies for a longer period due to illness or other specific problems you
may apply to the Department for an interruption of studies. Interruptions are normally fixed to 12 months
and require that you fully abstain from visiting the College. Fees during the interruption are waived and
any fees already paid are carried forward. Discuss the need for an interruption of studies with the Course
Director as soon as possible as back-dated/retrospective interruptions will not be approved by Registry
under College regulations.
6.7.7 Code of Student Discipline
This Code of Student Discipline provides for the hearing of complaints concerning breaches of discipline
by students, and for rights of appeal where appropriate, and sets down the penalties that may be
imposed, including termination of membership of the College
http://www.imperial.ac.uk/admin-services/secretariat/college-governance/charters-statutes-ordinancesand-regulations/ordinances/students/
7.
Conduct (behaviour, professionalism etc)

Attendance (include procedure for request of absence)
Sickness
Progress and performance
Communication (e.g. responding to emails, keep course organisers informed of any problems)
Notes on the Examinations
Students are required to complete all elements of the examinations (written papers, coursework,
project). Failure to do so, other than on grounds of personal illness or the death of a near relative (spouse,
parent or sibling), could result in the student being failed in the examinations as a whole and, therefore,
being required to re-sit all elements in the following year.
Students who request a deferral of any element of the examinations must submit such requests to the
Postgraduate Administrator in advance of the examinations. If the request is supported it will be
13
submitted to the appropriate College committee for approval. Approval is only agreed in truly exceptional
circumstance.
Exams already passed cannot be taken again just to improve grades.
Students must turn up for examinations promptly. Students who arrive more than 15 minutes after
the start of the exam may be refused entry as it is unfair to disturb other students. If you do arrive
more 15 minutes after the start of an exam then please go directly to the Teaching Office (Room 263,
Roderic Hill).
All exams notices will be posted on your notice board and you will at times be emailed to check
information posted there.
Candidates are not allowed to use their own calculator. At each examination taking place in this
department, every candidate will be issued with a Casio FX-85GT PLUS calculator. Examples are
available from the Teaching Office for practice though not for loan.
Written examinations take place during the first two weeks of the Spring and Summer terms.
7.1
Release of Examination Results/Provisional Results Information
Examination results (actual marks) are not released to students until after the exam board as per the
information below so please do not request (this is a College regulation).
However we can provide prospective employers/further education establishments with unofficial,
provisional results prior to the exam board. If you require such a provisional unofficial transcript of marks
to date to be sent to prospective employers/further education establishments before the exam board
then please ask them to send such requests to the Postgraduate Administrator or you can provide contact
details (preferably email) to send to. Such transcripts will not be sent to students.
Please note to assist you with choosing your Spring term options as soon as results for any of your
Autumn term modules are available we will indicate on Blackboard Learn PASS/FAIL for the relevant
module. No actual marks will be given for overall module results so please do not ask. Please note this is
an agreement we have with Registry for your Autumn term modules only and will not be carried out for
the results of your Spring term modules. (Note where a module is assessed by exam and coursework
elements you will receive actual marks for the coursework element only). Please do not email us asking
where results are because as soon as we have them we will release on Blackboard.
The Board of Examiners will meet to consider the results of the examinations in late October 2016 and
results will be released to students only via student e-service within 10 days.
Those who have not managed a clear pass will be emailed by the Course Director with an individual letter,
setting out possible courses of action within 10 days of the examiners board.
Registry will email you when the official results are released on-line. Your results will not be available
until you have received the notification email so please do not keep checking the self-service page. Please
refer to the Registry website below for information on the exam results process including how to obtain
formal confirmation of your results and/or degree certificates in the case of graduating students.
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/registry/exams/examresults
7.2
Appeals
There is no provision in Imperial College London regulations for appeals to be made on academic
grounds against the decision of Examiners. Marks are only finalised at the final examiners meeting,
where processes are approved by external examiners as well as the College examiners. This means that
marks provided earlier in the academic year (for individual coursework items or examinations) might be
adjusted, or revised, on the basis of examiners recommendations.
14
Please note that the Department does not deal with any appeals. These are dealt with by the Registry so
you should not submit this to any staff members in Aeronautics. Full information on the appeals process
and how to appeal can be found at the Registry website below below. Appeals can only be made once
official results have been issued by the Registry on student e-service and they will email you when
these are available to view. Please note that all appeals MUST be submitted within FOUR WEEKS of the
results being released on student eservice.
Appeals are normally only approved if the College has made an administrative error or if new evidence
has been provided after the initial decision was made. Minor issues can be handled within the
Department but all appeals against the decisions of the Examiners Meeting must be filed with the
Registry, who will assess the appeal and then forward it to the Department for recommendation. The
Head of Department makes the final decision. Any appeals against this decision will be directed to the
College Appeals Committee. For further information please refer to
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/registry/exams/studentappeals

Coursework Submission Penalty Scheme
There is no access to examination scripts.

Past examination papers and solutions are only available to students for the past TWO years (may be
more for undergraduate courses). These are available via the Student Portal on Sharepoint.
According to the College regulations, late submissions will receive a mark of zero.
Failures of computers or printers WILL NOT be accepted as a valid excuse for late submission.
9. Compulsory Online Plagiarism Awareness Course
All Masters students will be required to self-enrol onto the course which is available via Blackboard.
Instructions on how to enrol onto the course can be found on the Graduate Schools Plagiarism
Awareness Online Course webpage. The course will take approximately 1.5 hours to complete but can be
saved and returned to at a later date. There is no limit to the amount of times students can take the
course it can be accessed anytime, so there will always be an opportunity to refresh understanding.
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/graduateschool/plagiarismawarenesscourse
The deadline for completion of the Online Plagiarism awareness course is Tuesday 1 December. A few
weeks before this Angela Goldfinch, the Departmental Librarian, will be giving a lecture On Avoiding
Plagiarism and Referencing which you may find helps a great deal with the online course. Details of the
lecture are in will be in your calendar.

The Graduate School
The Department does not deal with any aspect of the Graduation Ceremony. The College has a
Graduation Office to deal with this and contact details and information of when your Graduation
Ceremony will be can be found at
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/graduation
The Graduate School provides an award winning professional development programme that not only
supports postgraduate students in their programmes of study or research, but also equips them for their
future careers.
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/graduateschool
15
The Graduate School have been scheduled to give you a presentation on your professional skills
development on the first day of term. Their MasterClass programme is run as part of a wider programme
of professional skills development for postgraduate students, and has been designed specifically to meet
the needs of Masters level students. The lecture sessions are normally of 90 minute duration and held
on Wednesday lunchtimes. Courses are free and there is no limit to the number you can attend and you
are strongly encouraged by the MSc course director to attend (timetable permitting).

13.1
The Course
Regulations
Regulations governing the award of higher degrees are laid down by the College. These can be found on
the Registry website at http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/registry/proceduresandregulations/regulations
The following sections are intended to explain aspects of these Regulations as they apply to this
programme: they are not intended to replace the College regulations, which should be consulted in case
of doubt.
13.2
General Status and Scope
The MSc is normally awarded after one year of full-time study. The initial qualification for the MSc course
in Advanced Aeronautical Engineering is normally a 1st class or good 2nd Class Upper Honours Degree of a
U.K. University or an approved equivalent degree, in engineering (Aeronautical or Mechanical),
13.3 Requirements of the Course

13.3.1 Modules
Students must attend a number of core and optional modules chosen from those to be given during the
Autumn and Spring terms. There are a number of optional modules and students may wish to consult with
the course director to determine suitable combinations.
The taught modules are confined to the Autumn and Spring terms, with the associated examinations held
in two stages. The first examination session is in the first two weeks of the Spring term, involving subjects
taught in the preceding Autumn term. The second examination session takes place in the first two weeks
of the Summer term and involves subjects taught in the preceding Spring term.
Each module has a number of units associated with it (essentially 1 unit per 10 hours) and a student has to
gain a minimum number of units to meet the award criteria. There are two forms of assessment, written
coursework assignments or written examination papers and most modules are assessed by a combination
of the two, though some are assessed by coursework only or exam only (see later section Taught Module
Information).
Each student must pass at least sixteen units for the degree to be awarded (refer also to later section
Weighting of Elements of the Examination).
13.3.2 Research Project Overview
This is just a brief overview of your research project. Full research project details will be issued in a
separate MSc Projects Information document on Blackboard Learn (see earlier section in this handbook)
under module AEM-AAE05 Major Individual Research Project with the list of project topics available.
The project constitutes a piece of individual research that for full-time students is a continuous activity
from immediately after your Summer term examination session to the end of the course (approximately
the second week of September which is when you are expected to give an oral presentation and submit
your project report). Some preparatory work (literature searching, project planning, assembling materials
and test apparatus where relevant) is expected to be undertaken as soon as your project has been
allocated and before your Summer term examination session. Students are expected to work full-time
during the project period and assume the working week is at least 40 hours though students should spend
considerably more time on the project by additionally working during evenings and weekends to achieve
16
their goals for the project. Requests for a holiday during the project period will not be entertained.
Students are not to be absent from College without permission from the Course Director (project
supervisors, internal or external are not authorised to grant leave of absences). All requests for leave of
absence must be sent to the Course Director via the Postgraduate Administrator in the first instance).
The project is assessed by progress in conducting the work, a dissertation of 40 pages, log book and an
oral presentation.
There are penalties for late submission of project work on exactly the same basis as those for coursework
(See section Coursework Submission Penalty Scheme).
Advice is provided separately on report writing, but students are advised to consult dissertations from
previous years to see the standard expected (in particular refer to those projects which have won prizes).
Past projects can be accessed via Sharepoint (refer to earlier section).
13.3.3 Oral Examination
A student may be given an oral examination at the discretion of the examiners.
13.4
Weighting of Elements of the Examinations
Pass Criteria for for individual modules: To achieve a pass in a particular module, candidates must gain
50% or greater overall. Where applicable, the precise split of weight between exam and coursework is
indicated in the module descriptor on www.imperial.ac.uk/dss (click on name to view).
Pass Criteria for the award of MSc: To achieve an overall pass for the award of the MSc, candidates must
1) gain a total of 16 or more units with a 50% average and 2) achieve a mark of 50% or greater in the
project.
Criteria for the award of Merit: For the award of merit a candidate must: 1) gain a total of 16 or more
units, achieving a 60% or greater average over the best 16 units and 2) to achieve a mark of 60% or
greater in the project.
Criteria for the award of Distinction: The award of distinction is at the discretion of the Board of
Examiners. To be considered for a distinction a candidate must achieve excellence both in the taught
courses and in the project. This normally will require the candidate to 1) gain a total of 16 or more units
and 2) achieve a 70% or greater average over the best 16 units of the courses and 3) to achieve a mark of
70% or greater in the project.

Taught Options: Module Enrolment/Dropping Modules
As stated in the earlier information in the Timetable Check section students are automatically enrolled
on all of the lecture courses for this MSc programme and should check DSS (www.imperial.ac.uk/dss). If
you cannot see any of the courses listed in the Lecture Course Information section above (on either DSS
or Blackboard Learn) then please contact the Postgraduate Administrator immediately to report this
error.
Exception AE3-422 High Performance Computing.
Due to limited space in the computer room, this module will operate on an opt-in basis. You will be
advised how to sign up for the module in due course. Please note that this is not an entry-level
computing module, you would already need to have some experience of computing and programming.
However it is your responsibility to inform the Postgraduate Administrator as soon as you are aware you
want to drop a course. Failure to notify us of dropped courses as per the information below will mean a
mark of zero/fail will be recorded on your official College transcript/academic record and this cannot be
removed. Please also note that if you drop a course this cannot be reinstated so be sure before you
drop!
