WELCOME TO YOUR COURSE AND FACULTY

Introduction to your Faculty

The Faculty of Life Sciences and Computing (FLSC) consists of three schools: the School of Human Sciences
(SHS), the School of Psychology (SoP) and the School of Computing (SoC). All of the staff are based in the Tower
Building on the Holloway Road site, where the teaching takes place. The Tower Building is equipped with a wide
range of specialist computing and technology laboratories. The Science Centre nearby houses the science labs,
sports centre, gym and research facilities and is next to the Learning Centre, which houses the Library and some
IT facilities. IT Studios, on the ground floor of the Main Block, are utilised for small group class teaching. More
extensive IT facilities are located in the Technology Tower, adjacent to the Tower Block, which provides over 300
open access computer terminals. The Faculty Office is located in T10-01 in the Tower Building, with staff offices
on floors 6-12.
The School of Computing (SoC) consists of four academic subject areas: Communications Technology, Applied
Computing, Computer Science & Creative Technologies, and Mathematics. Specialist computer laboratories are
housed in the Tower Building floors 2-8, and include networking (CISCO), electronics and communications
technology laboratories; the Computer Forensics and IT security laboratory; the digital media laboratories, and the
Games Studio, which provides services in interaction design, gaming for education, interactive DVD and broadcast
media. Courses in SoC are accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS), the Institute of Mathematics and its
Applications (IMA) and the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET). Research is mainly located in the
Research Centres for Intelligent Systems, Informatics and Communications Technology; in the Laboratory of
Applied Computer Science and Technology (LACOST) and in the Statistics, Operational Research and
Mathematics Research Centre (STORM).
Welcome to the Faculty - I wish you every success in your studies.
Professor Dominic Palmer-Brown, Dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences and Computing.

1.2

Introduction to your Course

BSc Computer Games Programming has been developed in consultation with Skillset and our games industry
steering group, comprised of professionals from the games industries.
The main aim of the course is to provide students with skills in games programming, focusing on industry standard
languages and software development kits, as well as giving students the opportunity to show creativity and
innovation in the rapidly evolving area of game and toy development.
Students should undertake an internship or work placement with Gamelab London or another industry client as
part of their degree.
Teamwork and portfolio development play an important role in the curriculum. Games programmers work
alongside games artists each semester, developing their game design and communication skills as well as
producing professional quality software.
Fiona French
Course Leader BSc Computer Games Programming

Section 7 sets down the key features of your course, including your Course Specification. Your Course
Specification may have a work placement as a compulsory element or you may be able to choose it as an optional
module. The placements aim to enhance your work based skills and to enable you to bring these reflections
productively to bear on your studies.

SECTION 2
2.1

Undergraduate Degree Courses

Key features of Undergraduate Degree Courses

The Universitys undergraduate degree courses are part of a common credit accumulation system. Students build
up the credits needed for a degree module by module and must successfully complete the requirements of each
level before progressing to the next. Standard modules carry 30 credits and a degree comprises 360 credits.
Study can be full time or part time and, for a few courses, evening only.
Your degree course is organised into three levels:
Level 4 represents the introductory level of your course. It provides a firm foundation for more advanced study of
your subject. Guided by your Personal Academic Tutor you also begin a process of personal development
planning which will include devising strategies to enable you to reach your academic potential.
Level 4 modules are normally studied during the first year of a full time Honours Degree course.
Level 5 develops your intellectual and imaginative powers, your understanding, judgement and problem solving
skills, as well as your communication skills and a deepening awareness of your subject. It builds on what you
have already learned and gives more opportunity to specialise. At this level of the course there is a particular focus
on your future employability and on the development of professional practice in your discipline(s),
Level 5 modules are normally studied during the second year of a full time Honours Degree course.
Level 6 is the most advanced undergraduate level. Modules are designed to develop and test independent
judgement and critical awareness and to develop an enquiring, analytical and creative approach to learning. You
are expected to recognise relationships in what you have learned, to synthesise and integrate information and to
view your subject(s) of study in a broader perspective.
You carry out individual research projects and activities in preparation for employment or further study on
postgraduate or professional courses. As part of the compulsory (core) Project module, you refine your personal
development planning activities to aid application for employment or further study.
Level 6 modules are normally studied during the third year of a full time Honours Degree course.
The academic year is split into three terms, with 30 weeks of contact with lecturers. The Autumn term runs from
September to December, the Spring term from January to March and the Summer term from April to June. Full
time students normally study 120 credits per year (either four 30 credit modules or three 30 credit modules and
two 15 credit modules), while part-time students take up to 90 credits in a year.
Your degree contains a number of core modules, which are compulsory. Option modules are designed to provide
opportunities for adding breadth and depth and can, in some cases, be chosen from a wider list that includes
broad based Extension of Knowledge modules or opportunities to acquire language skills through the Open
Language Programme. The structure of your modules and which are compulsory/optional is contained in your
Course Specification (see Section 7.1).
2.1

Credit for previous learning

If you already hold a qualification (for example from another university), that may exempt you from part of your
course, you may apply for Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning (APCL). Similarly, if you have undertaken
work, paid or voluntary, that has resulted in learning skills or knowledge equivalent to a module you will be
studying, you may apply for Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL). Collectively these are known as
Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).
If you wish to claim for APL please contact your Student Hub in the first instance.

2.2

Modules

Most first year students will have a programme of modules already registered for the whole year.
The structure of your course is printed in this Course Handbook but up to date information about the modules you
need to study is best found at: https://intranet.londonmet.ac.uk/prog-plan/module-catalogue
You will encounter the following terms as part of choosing modules:
Core modules
Option modules

Pre-requisite

You must study these compulsory modules in order to meet the

requirements of your award.
Whilst at level 4 all the modules are core, levels 5 and 6 have some
optionality. Option modules are designed to provide opportunities for
breadth (extension of knowledge or a modern language module) and depth
(subject specific option module). Extension of Knowledge modules are
options from subject areas outside your main subject(s) and you can
choose from an approved list of modules offered within and across
Faculties.
These are modules which normally must be passed/completed before you
may proceed to study a subsequent module(s). This is to ensure that you
have an appropriate level of knowledge to study the later module(s).

You must agree your programme when requested and you cannot re-enrol without confirming
module choices before the start of each year.
2.3

your

Module registration, course planning and approval

If you are studying full time your programme for your first year (level 4) is already set, while part-time students and
those entering with credit will have sessions to register modules as part of the Induction Programme. As you
progress on your course you will be able to choose some of your modules. As a new student you will probably
have already seen your personal timetable on-line and the structure of classes will be described as part of the
Induction Programme, which will include the times and rooms for lectures, seminars and other taught classes.
Please get in touch with your Student Hub if you are not sure where you should be going.
Before the start of each year returning students programme plan by confirming any option choices available to
them. If you need advice or support in planning your programme please contact your Student Hub in the first
instance. You may be referred to your Personal Academic Tutor, if required. Once your programme is confirmed
an individual personal timetable is generated for you and can be viewed on-line. You can check your list of
registered modules, and your results, on line using Evision (Section 4.4 below). You can attend only those
modules for which you have registered and if you miss the registration deadline you may not be allowed to register
your preferred modules. Once registered there is a very limited opportunity (i.e. no later than the end of week 2 of
the academic year) in which to change, or withdraw from, modules. These rules minimise disruption and aid
planning.
It is your responsibility to ensure you have an approved programme of study, which, for full time students, will
normally consists of 120 credits per year. Part time students study up to 90 credits of modules per year. Further
information and a guide to module registration can be found online: www.londonmet.ac.uk/ug-course-information
The Module Catalogue gives the full list of modules available:
https://intranet.londonmet.ac.uk/prog-plan/module-catalogue/
FURTHER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
2.4

Open Language Programme

Extension of Knowledge includes Open Language Programme (OLP) modules. They range from complete
beginner to graduate level in the following languages: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin
Chinese, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. If your course structure includes option modules and you wish to

study a modern language you will need to be assessed and registered at the appropriate level. Please ask your
Personal Academic Tutor for advice and visit www.londonmet.ac.uk/olp to view the arrangements for assessments
and further information.

SECTION 3
3.1

BEING A STUDENT

Induction Programme Checklist

Following your Induction Programme and Course Introductory Meetings, you should check that you have received
the following:

an ID card (including library number and computer network username)

a programme of study confirming your registered modules
a personal timetable
the location of your Student Hub
the location of your main Library and IT facilities
the name of your Academic Liaison Librarian
the name of your Personal Academic Tutor
the name of your Course Leader

If you miss your Induction Programme you still need to obtain all of the above items and there will be a Late
Induction session for you. Contact your designated Student Hub to ensure that you know what to do and where to
go. It is very important that you complete the enrolment process as this is what activates your status as a student
and ensures, for example, that you appear on your module class lists.
3.2

Your first Term

Classes commence on 28 September 2015 and your timetable will list all the classes that you are required to
attend.
You will meet the Module Lecturers, who will often be giving the main lecture for the module, and your module
tutors, who will take your group tutorials/seminars/workshops. During the first term you will also meet your
Personal Academic Tutor (refer section 4.7).
3.3

Attendance, academic engagement and employment

In order to succeed on your course you should attend all classes and attempt all assessments; indeed the
University requires this of you. Whilst some absences may be unavoidable you should always let your Module
Lecturer know in advance and you must to catch up on what you have missed.
Attendance at classes is recorded and is reviewed on a regular basis. You can view this via your Evision account.
If you miss too many classes your Module Leader can withdraw you from that module. If your attendance is not
satisfactory over your whole programme you may risk having your enrolment terminated.
For International students holding a Tier 4 visa a high level of attendance is essential, not only to your success, but
also to maintaining your visa conditions. If your attendance does not meet satisfactory requirements it could have
serious implications for your stay in the UK. Please see the Visa Compliance section for further details. If you
need to be absent because of illness or other unforeseen circumstances please notify Via Compliance as soon as
possible ([email protected]) to make sure that your absence is authorised.
We recognise that our full-time students may need to undertake part-time work, but strongly advise you not to take
employment of more than 15 hours a week. The Universitys Employment Service, in Student Services, can help
you find a suitable part-time job that can enhance your employability and complement your studies;
https://intranet.londonmet.ac.uk/studentservices/careers/ If you are an international student holding a Tier 4 visa,
please ensure that you work within the rules set by UK Visas and Immigration. The International Student Advice
Team can advise you on how many hours and the types of work you can undertake:
[email protected]
You can find further details of working during your studies here http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/international/currentstudent-immigration-information/working-and-career-planning/

3.4

Your Timetable

The University timetable operates from 9.00 am to 9.00 pm, Monday to Friday
Provided that you enrolled at the required time your timetable will be available on-line and the structure of classes
will be explained during your Induction Programme. Your timetable will change each year and will be available
after you have re-enrolled. For your personal timetable, visit: www.londonmet.ac.uk/ug-course-information
If you do not have a complete timetable please contact your Student Hub without delay.
3.5

Studying

Your course will provide opportunities to learn new skills and acquire knowledge in your chosen subject areas. To
make the most of the opportunities available you need to organise and plan your learning to help you manage your
time effectively see the guidance provided on the Study Hub website: www.londonmet.ac.uk/studyhub
Undertaking academic study at undergraduate level may be new and very different from your previous study
experiences. Assessment is a key aspect of this learning. Successful completion of coursework and examinations
is crucial to the achievement of an award at the end of your course. There are various types of assessment and
modules often involve a combination of examination and coursework or presentation. It is important that you
understand clearly the various expectations and deadlines for each item of assessment. Every module has a
Module Booklet, which explains how and when you will be assessed.
You must attend all timetabled classes and you will also need to study in your own time. You should expect to
spend 10 hours per week on each module, making a commitment of approximately 40 hours per week for a fulltime student, which should be planned in your diary. Please be respectful of the learning environment and
remember to switch off your mobile phone before entering classes and study areas.
Be prepared for lectures and tutorials by doing any reading or exercises in advance. Always make notes. Review
these after the class and if there is anything you do not understand, ask your tutor. All tutors have office hours and
their contact details are in the Module Booklet.
Check assignment deadlines and examination dates, note them carefully in your diary and begin assignments
early. You will enjoy researching and planning your work if you allow yourself plenty of time. Make sure that you
understand what you need to do and plan how you will tackle it. If anything needs clarification, seek advice from
your module lecturer.
In summary: plan your learning strategy; allocate enough time; attend all of your module lectures, tutorials and
other sessions; start assignments well in advance; seek advice and help when you need it; use the learning
resources offered; and, enjoy the learning experience!
3.6

Feedback on your assessments

Assessment feedback is a critical part of your learning experience and supports successful achievement on your
course. Feedback can be:
diagnostic it provides an indicator of your aptitude and preparedness for study and can identify your
strengths and areas for improvement.
formative it provides you with feedback on progress of your work. The work may or may not contribute to
the overall module grade.
summative it provides comments in respect of your performance in relation to intended learning
outcomes and requirements for a piece of assessment.
During your course you will probably receive feedback in a number of ways:
in teaching sessions to the whole class or to you individually;
orally or in writing;
written using a feedback sheet on your work;
via WebLearn, the online space for modules;
during the module as well as at the end.

You are entitled to receive feedback on all assessments, normally within 15 working days of submission. For
assignments submitted during the module especially where feedback can be delivered within timetabled class
sessions - the module team will help you to understand how to improve future submissions. For end-of-module
assignments feedback may be given on-line but you can request a meeting with your module tutors to help you
understand why they have awarded the grades you received.
All arrangements for coursework and feedback return will normally be stated in Module Booklets. This should
include:
due dates for coursework submission;
dates when coursework feedback will be distributed in class;
dates when coursework feedback can be collected from the module lecturer or your Student Hub;
the format by which assessment feedback will be given;
the process by which end-of-module coursework can be collected following the publication of the result
concerned.
Online Feedback:
Feedback for coursework submitted online will be made available on Weblearn unless specified otherwise by your
lecturer. Online Feedback can be accessed via the 'My Feedback' link on the Online Assessment page in your
module. You can find more information about Online Submission and how to access your feedback in the 'Online
Submission Help' section on Weblearn at: http://metranet.londonmet.ac.uk/weblearn-onlinesubmission
3.7

Building Careers

Your future employment is important. We prepare you for transition to employment by providing you with
opportunities to develop the qualities and skills that employers need, and to train your mind to deal with complex
questions. You will have the chance to develop teamwork, communication and presentational skills throughout
your course. In your final year you may carry out a problem-solving project.
You need to be effective and adaptable in challenging times, so we offer career planning services and lots of
opportunities to develop yourself to get you on the job ladder. To facilitate this further our Student Services
organise recruitment fairs, where you have the opportunity to meet with employers directly. To see more details on
how we prepare you for employability visit: www.londonmet.ac.uk/buildingcareers

SECTION 4
4.1

COMMUNICATION, INFORMATION AND ADVICE

Your University IT Account

You use the same IT account to access all University IT systems and Library electronic resources. Your account
name is printed at the top of your student ID card that you receive at enrolment and is 7 characters in length (e.g.
ABC1234). Your password (which you would have already used during pre-registration) was initially set as your
date of birth (DDMMYYYY) so, if you have not already done so, please do change it to something more secure at:
https://password.londonmet.ac.uk/
4.2

Communication

We do our best to keep you informed of what you need to know at all times. We use the Web to provide much of
the information you need so it is essential to familiarise yourself with the University website. At other times we will
use email to contact you so it is essential that you check your University email on a regular basis.
4.3

Your Contact Details

The University will contact you by letter, phone, or email, perhaps to arrange a meeting, to provide you with
information, or to respond to a query. It is therefore essential that you keep your contact details up to date on
your student Evision account.
Increasingly, we use email to communicate and keep you informed. You will also have been allocated a
University email address, which is your 7 character account (see 4.1 above) e.g. [email protected] .
Even if you already have an email account that you will continue to use you should regularly check your London
Met account or set up an auto forward, as important messages will be sent to your University email address.
4.4

Evision

Evision is the Universitys online facility that allows you to access your personal student record, and is where you
print your coursework submission sheets and other forms that you may need. You also re-enrol via Evision and
view information showing your attendance at classes. You can view your:

Personal and contact details (can be updated online)

Academic Support and Personal Academic Tutors (PATs)

As part of our absolute commitment to student experience and achievement every student is allocated a Personal
Academic Tutor (PAT), who is a member of the teaching staff from the Faculty responsible for the course. PATs
ensure provision of effective systems for student support to enable positive student engagement, achievement and
progression. The PATs work throughout the year and are supported by teams of course administrators, who also
provide Academic Registry services. PATs offer pastoral support and advice to a designated cohort of students in
matters related to programme planning and the student experience. They work closely with Course Leaders within
an integrated network of support services provided by the Careers Service, Student Services and the Centre for
the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT).
4.8

YOUR VOICE COUNTS

StARS

Feedback from students is vital to the University to find out how well the teaching, guidance and other services are
working. This is obtained in different ways, including via Student Academic Representatives (StARs) who,
supported by the Students Union, provide direct feedback from students on the course and raise any issues on
their behalf. You will have the opportunity to stand for election as a StAR or to elect a fellow student.

5.2

Course Committees

A Course Committee is normally convened each term to review a set of modules and courses and provide quality
assurance. Key staff, including module and course lecturers, attend these meetings and student input is received
via your StARs.

5.3

Students views on modules and courses

Students views are obtained by a variety of means such as focus groups and web-based questionnaires. While
staff welcome informal feedback from students, Module Lecturers produce formal monitoring reports which cover
areas such as teaching, student feedback and assessment. Reports and action points agreed are available from
both module and course reviews.

5.4

Students Union

The University is proud to work with the Students Union. You can contact the Students Union about any course,
student, pastoral or social issue.

YOUR A-Z ESSENTIALS

Academic Liaison Librarians

Academic Liaison Librarians are qualified to provide learning support and information skills training and
ensure that, where possible, the appropriate information resources you need are available throughout your
course.
Your dedicated Librarian can help you acquire valuable information literacy skills which will enable you to
locate, retrieve, evaluate and use the most relevant resources for your research for specific assignments
and projects. They publish guides and online tutorials to resources specific to your subject area which are a
good starting point when you need support.
Additionally, there is an open course called Library Matters available on WebLearn. Library Matters will help
you learn how to find, evaluate and use the information you need for your studies and assessments. You
can dip into different sections or follow the order of the course sections. No need to log in or create an
account.
To access Library Matters go to: http://tinyurl.com/or855sj

6.2

Academic Misconduct

You are responsible for ensuring that all work submitted is your own, and that it is appropriately referenced.
The University does not tolerate cheating of any kind. You are strongly advised to familiarise yourself with
the Academic Misconduct Procedures, which list a range of categories of academic misconduct and
associated penalties, covering instances of academic misconduct (plagiarism, collusion, exam cheating).
From the outset of your studies you should receive information and guidance on referencing conventions
and group work activities to ensure that you do not contravene the Universitys Procedures. If you are
unsure about referencing, paraphrasing or group work activities (and what may constitute collusion in such
activities), you should seek advice as soon as possible from the Module Tutor, your PAT or the Students
Union.
An interactive guide on preventing plagiarism containing student views on plagiarism, interactive
demonstrations on how to reference and quizzes can be accessed at:
http://learning.londonmet.ac.uk/TLTC/learnhigher/Plagiarism/
Further information can be accessed at:
www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-misconduct
6.3

Academic Regulations

We provide guidance on most aspects of the Academic Regulations via our website, including our online
Student Handbook; if you are unsure please contact your Student Hub or ask your Personal Academic
Tutor. If you wish to access the Universitys Academic Regulations, they can be found at:

Coursework Extensions

If you have exceptional reasons which prevent you from submitting your coursework on time, you may
request an extension of up to five working days. Requests must be made via Evision (My Modules section
and then select Exceptional Extension Request) before the deadline for the coursework concerned and the
process applies only to first submissions (i.e. it does not apply to reassessments).
Further information is available at: www.londonmet.ac.uk/extensions
Please note that you can only request an exceptional extension 2 weeks in advance of the deadline
concerned and no later than 24 hours after the submission deadline date and time. For example, where the
coursework deadline is 3pm Friday you have until 3pm Saturday to make your request for an exceptional
coursework extension. Therefore, assessment components will only be available for selection during this
period.
6.9

Coursework Submission

When handing in coursework you must ensure that you have understood and followed all the instructions
provided by the Module Lecturer. For each coursework assessment, the type of submission will be specified
as either:
- a Hardcopy Submission which you submit in person to your Student Hub; or,
- an Online Submission via Weblean.
The standard deadline time for submitting all coursework assessments is 3pm (whether in hardcopy or
online). Deadline dates are detailed in Module Handbooks and can also be accessed via your Evision
account.
Please note that the University does not accept late work. If you have exceptional reasons which prevent
you from submitting your work by the due date and time please refer to 6.8 above (coursework extensions)
or 6.21 below (mitigating circumstances).
It is important that you retain both your electronic receipt of submission and a copy of the coursework until
the results are published via Evision.

Details of the coursework submission process, including how to obtain coursework cover sheets, can be
accessed at www.londonmet.ac.uk/coursework-exams
Hardcopy Submission
Coursework should be submitted to your Student Hub and be accompanied by a securely attached
barcoded coursework coversheet printed from Evision.
Receipts for hardcopy submission will be sent to your University email address and confirmation of
submission will also be available to view via your Evision account.
Online Submission
Coursework should be submitted to the online submission point provided for each assignment on your
Weblearn module. Online submission points can be found on the Online Assessment page of each module.
Word-based documents will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin Originality Reports. You can check
your Originality report prior to submission by using one of the Test submissions provided to students either
on your module or via Online Submission Help on Weblearn.
Confirmation emails for online submissions will be sent to your University email address and you can
download digital receipts from Weblearn for Turnitin submissions.
Further information on how to use online submission tools such as Turnitin or Weblearn Assignments, and
how to download an online submission receipt and improve Originality Reports prior to submission can be
accessed at: http://metranet.londonmet.ac.uk/weblearn-onlinesubmission
6.10

Criminal Convictions

If you are a student with an unspent criminal conviction, or you are convicted or cautioned for an offence
during your study, you must notify the University. If you have a spent conviction or caution that is not eligible
for filtering but are studying on a course which is exempt from the 1974 Rehabilitation of Offenders Act
and/or requires a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check you must also inform the University
immediately. For more information see the University's policy at: www.londonmet.ac.uk/convictions
6.11

Criteria for Awards

The Undergraduate Awards Framework, the list of all of the Universitys undergraduate awards, can be
found at the beginning of Section 3.1 of the Academic Regulations. Section 3.2 of the Academic
Regulations details the minimum criteria for passing and achieving particular classifications within each type
of undergraduate award.
6.12

Disabilities and Dyslexia

Our Disabilities and Dyslexia Service (DDS) can assist you if you have a disability, long-term medical or
mental health condition or a Specific Learning Difference (e.g. dyslexia or dyspraxia). You will need to
provide medical evidence of your condition, or a full diagnostic assessment for Specific Learning
Differences (SpLDs). If you are eligible for support, our Advisers can help you obtain a range of adjustments
depending on the level of need identified. Support can include:
Notes/hand-outs in advance
Permission to record lectures
Special examination arrangements (e.g. extra time, use of a computer, sheltered accommodation,
amanuensis), alternative assessment arrangements
Extended assessment deadlines
Extended library loans
Accessibility related classroom adjustments
Screening for a Specific Learning Difference (dyslexia)
Internal Needs Assessment Report, to identify any adjustments to support you in your studies
Advice and guidance in applying for study-related funding e.g. the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA)
Assistance with arranging specialist tutoring, mentoring, communication support and /or note takers

Please Note:
1. There are some aspects of course assessment that cannot be changed. These are known as
competence standards. A competence standard is defined in the Equality Act 2010 as an academic,
medical, or other standard applied for the purpose of determining whether or not a person has a
particular level of competence or ability. These standards must be essential to the course and all
students must be able to fulfil these criteria. Although in such situations it may not be possible to alter
the format of the assessment, you may still be entitled to adjustments (e.g. extra time or an amanuensis).
Competency standards are different to the fitness to practice standards that exist in certain professions,
such as teaching, social work and medicine.
2. You are responsible for covering any costs associated in obtaining medical evidence of your disability/
long-term medical or mental health condition. While the Service can provide screenings for a Specific
Learning Difference, adjustments and extra support can be arranged only after a full diagnostic
assessment is made. The University is unable to pay for this but, in some cases, can make a contribution
to the cost if you make an application to the Access to Learning Fund. You may also be entitled to
government allowances (e.g. DSA). You are strongly advised to contact the DDS for help with funding
applications.
3. If you have a disability, long-term medical or mental health condition or a Specific Learning Difference,
please contact DDS as soon as possible as we are not usually able to arrange adjustments to teaching
and assessments at short notice. DDS require medical evidence of your condition/a full diagnostic
assessment at least 5 weeks (25 working days) before the start of the relevant exam period. This is to
ensure our Advisers have sufficient time to assess your requirements and communicate them to our
Assessment and Conferment Office, who then implement any special exam arrangements to which you
are entitled.
4. It is your responsibility to update us if your condition changes. We need to know this in order to assess if
there is any additional support you need so please do stay in touch with us throughout your course.

6.13

Enrolment and Re-enrolment

Enrolment is an annual process. The first time you enrol you will need to provide evidence of your identity.
You will also need to pay your tuition fees or demonstrate how these will be paid.
The University ID card you receive at enrolment contains your library number and computer network
username and allows entry to the Universitys buildings. Provided you fully completed the enrolment
requirements your card should work throughout the year. If it stops working then please seek advice from
your Student Hub.
If you are studying on a part-time basis over more than one academic year or need to return to complete
your studies, you will need to re-enrol online usually from early August. Re-enrolment is necessary for your
ID card to be reactivated for the new academic year. There will be a deadline for this so it is important that
you complete this before the start of the next academic year. You will need to register modules before you
re-enrol.
International students will need to re-enrol in person every year with the Visa Compliance Team.

group and silent learning zones and there are group study rooms which can be booked. To save you time,
there are many self-service facilities including borrowing and returning items, renewals and reservations.
The web based catalogue is easy to use and can be accessed both on and off campus.

The TUC Library Collections is the major research library for the study of all aspects of trade unions and
collective bargaining with both historical and contemporary coverage. Users are advised to make an
appointment before their visit. The collections are available for reference only. To make an appointment
email [email protected].
Information on all of our services, library opening hours, borrowing rights, resources and contacts can be
found at: www.londonmet.ac.uk/library
6.20

Marking and grades

The University provides you with marks and grades for the work that you submit for assessment. At module
level, each component of assessed work is assigned a percentage mark with a pass/fail threshold at 40%.
The detailed requirements for assessment on each module are specified in Module Booklets, together with
indicative assessment criteria associated with different levels of performance and results. Modules are
marked on the following basis:
70% and above First class honours standard
60% - 69.99% Upper Second class honours standard
50% - 59.99% Lower Second class honours standard
40% - 49.99%
Third class honours standard
0% - 39.99%
Fail
Module marks are calculated to the nearest whole number from the appropriately weighted marks for each
assessment component. However when determining awards, which are calculated from the applicable
module marks (not normally all module marks), with extra weighting for final year module marks, the overall
mark for your award is calculated to two decimal places.
At the end of each teaching period module results and awards are confirmed by Assessment Boards
(Subject Standards Boards and Awards Boards). Assessment Boards uphold the academic standards of
your course and ensure that each student is treated fairly and equally through the assessment process.
6.21

Mitigating Circumstances

The Mitigating Circumstances process is for students who have exceptional, unforeseen circumstances
which prevent them from attending an examination (or which resulted in their performance in an
examination being significantly impaired) or which prevented them submitting coursework (please refer to
6.9 above on the separate coursework extension process). If you need to make a claim, independent
supporting evidence is required and, if accepted, this will allow you an opportunity to redo the
exam/resubmit the coursework without penalty i.e without capping of the mark. The deadline for the
submission of claims is four weeks from the date of the assessment concerned (i.e. the examination date or
submission deadline).
Claims for mitigating circumstances must be submitted, together with the evidence, to your Student Hub on
the appropriate form. Further information and the Mitigating Circumstances Form is available at:
www.londonmet.ac.uk/mitigation
6.22

Mode of Study

Your mode of study is determined by the University based on the number of modules that you have
registered for a particular semester. While students are permitted to change their mode of study at the end
of an academic year, they must be clearly registered as either full-time or part-time for each enrolment
period. This is because the funds allocated to the University by the Higher Education Funding Council
(England) relate to the number of students registered in each mode.
You should be aware that a change in mode of study is a formal University process and you should
therefore seek advice from your Student Hub or Student Services before making any decision.

6.23

Printing and Photocopying

Dual purpose self service photocopiers/printers are available around the university campus and are
available in all libraries. Your print account can be used to pay for photocopying and printing. Once a print
job is sent you can release the job on any FollowMe printer in the university using your ID card to
authenticate, they are not site specific.
Please note that print jobs remain active for only 24 hours after they are submitted. Instructions on printing
and photocopying are available here: https://intranet.londonmet.ac.uk/iss/students/printing-photocopyingand-scanning-for-students.cfm
You can credit your printing account online using a debit or credit card or you can use the money loaders to
top up your balance. This means you need to use your LondonMet ID card to add money to your printing,
photocopying and scanning account. Please note that the money loaders do not give change
6.24

Progression

At the end of each year the University considers the performance of each student and decides whether they
have passed sufficient modules to be able to move to the next level of their course. Failure in modules,
particularly failure due to non-submission of coursework or non-attendance at an exam, is likely to have
serious consequences for progression through your course. In some cases, students who cannot progress
will have the opportunity to repeat modules that they have failed, but a full time student who fails more
than 60 credits in their first year and who does not pass at reassessment will not be able to continue
on their course.
Any failure to progress is likely to delay your graduation and will lead to you incurring extra debt; for Tier 4
students this could also affect your sponsorship by the University. For this reason, students who think they
may be unable to attempt assessment should seek advice from their Student Hub or Personal Academic
Tutor as soon as possible. International students should also contact the International Student Advice Team
[email protected] for advice on possible implications for their Tier 4 visa.
6.25

Publication of Results and Transcripts and Awards Certifcates

Your marks will be formally confirmed at the end of the academic year, once they have been confirmed by
the Assessment Board for your subject. Marks are published via Evision: www.londonmet.ac.uk/evision
An official transcript will be posted to you at your home address on the completion of your course, together
with your award certificate. There is no charge for either your end of course transcript or your original award
certificate, but if your certificate is lost you will need to pay a fee for a replacement. Since certificates are
posted out to your registered home address, it is essential that you keep your home address updated in the
Universitys records system.
For reason of employment, or to provide proof of study at the University during your course, you may need
a formal transcript, stamped by the Student Hub. There is a fee for these transcripts, payable at the time of
request. Requests should be made to your Student Hub, who aim to produce transcripts within 5 working
days of request. You can also print a copy of your results from Evision and your Student Hub will stamp it to
confirm it is valid.
6.26

Reassessment

If you fail or do not attempt a component of assessment you will be provided with one reassessment
opportunity during the reassessment period (normally during July following the end of the academic year)
subject to meeting the attendance requirement specified below. If you pass after reassessment the
component concerned will be capped at 40%, unless it is more favourable to cap at the module level. (See
also section 6.20 above).
If attendance falls below 75% on a module, reassessment opportunities will not be available and instead the
module will have to be retaken the following year with attendance and payment of fees. Mitigating
circumstances cannot be claimed for missed classes; however Module Leaders will take account of

absences that are a consequence of recorded disability or otherwise recorded as 'Authorised Absence'
when applying the 75% threshold.

6.27

Retaking a Module

If, after reassessment, you still have not passed a module, you may need to re-register and to take the
whole module again. You are only permitted to re-register any module on one occasion and a fee may be
charged for re-registrations.
However, you should note that there are limits on the number of modules you can register to gain your
degree. If you repeat too many modules it will affect your funding, your ability to continue on your course
and, if you are an international student, your right to remain in the UK.
6.28

Student Conduct

Students who commit acts of general misconduct (i.e. in relation to their behaviour as opposed to academic
misconduct such as plagiarism or cheating) are subject to the University's disciplinary procedures which can
be found at www.londonmet.ac.uk/conduct
6.29

Student and Staff Charters

Our Student and Staff charters are the means in which we articulate our values into reciprocal commitments
to enhance practice and improve our learning environment. Our charters have been developed in
partnership with students and staff and help us to keep at the cutting edge of new means of working to
enhance your experience as a student.

6.31 Taking a break from your studies

We understand that, unfortunately, some students encounter exceptional circumstances resulting in them
needing to take a break from their studies. The University has procedures in place to support students who
need to take a break from their studies or, in exceptional cases, modify their current programme of studies.
If you are considering taking a break from your studies whilst you are enrolled, you need to seek:
financial advice from our Student Services team, as any break in studies will count as a year of
student funding and you may not be entitled to benefits in the period you are not studying; and,
academic advice from your Personal Academic Tutor to ensure that there are no academic
impediments which could impact upon your return to studies.
If you are a Tier 4 student, a break from your studies will have immigration implications that could be costly
if you do not understand them fully; therefore you must seek advice from the International Student Advice
Team before making your decision ([email protected])

Please think carefully about whether taking a break from your studies is right for you and please do contact
your Student Hub for help and guidance, as during an approved break you will not be eligible to sit
examinations, submit coursework or undertake any other form of assessment.
Further information, including the deadlines to request a break, arrangements for the refund of tuitions fees
and, the Request Form, which must be completed prior to the commencement of your break in studies, are
available at:www.londonmet.ac.uk/takingabreak
The maximum break permitted is one year and the maximum period in which to qualify for an
Honours degree (including any agreed breaks) is eight years.
If you leave without prior approval you are at risk of being deemed to have withdrawn from your
course and, as such, not allowed to recommence at a later date.
6.32

Withdrawal from a Module

Normally once you have a registered programme for the academic year it cannot be changed. You have
until the end of week 2 to request a withdrawal from a module without academic or financial penalty.
However, if by withdrawing from a module your enrolment changes from full-time to part-time, this will have
implications for your funding and you should seek further advice on all the implications of withdrawing from
a module before doing so. After this point you are expected to complete every module registered against
your record and to pay any fee due for your registered programme. For further information and advice
please contact your Student Hub.
Withdrawal from a module is not permitted after week 2; students with unforeseen circumstances, which
prevent completion of an assessment or a module, should submit a mitigating circumstances claim.
For International students holding a Tier 4 visa, withdrawing from modules or course could have serious
implications on your stay in the UK. Before you take any action, please contact the International Student
Advice Team for more information: [email protected]

About the course and its strategy towards teaching and learning and towards blended learning. Please
include details of access to learning facilities, including flexible/open-learning spaces within the
Faculty.
Students learning is organised around direct contact time and directed time, which takes place
through lectures, tutorials, seminars and laboratory work. Problems are formulated via lectures and
tutorials; implementation takes place in the laboratory. Students use self-study time in addition to
timetabled sessions for researching topics and reading around the taught material.
Increasingly e-learning is embedded within module design. Particular use is made of Virtual Learning
Environments (WebLearn) and Internet-based user groups enabling asynchronous communication
with tutors. Other information sources include library searches, the Internet, on-site interviews and
opportunities to examine artefacts.
Transferable skills - Group work throughout the course will be seen as important in relation to the
students future working environment. A requirement of the industry is for its workers to be able to
work as part of a team. Guidance is given by the tutors on ways to enhance the students' ability to
work in teams by fostering clear communication skills, respect for peer group and understanding of
ethical issues. Workshops provide an opportunity for students to develop some of the disciplinebased skills required of the industry.
One of the key aspects throughout the course is the development of a cumulative portfolio. Initially
this is tightly tied to specific module teaching and assessment, but at a later stage students are
encouraged to develop portfolio work independently, with increasing individual tutorial support. The
emphasis of the course is to ensure a contemporary skill-set through the use of current visiting
practitioners and continuous industry involvement from the full-time staff members.
Students ability to work independently will also be fostered through a mixture of unseen examination
and presentations and ultimately the design and implementation of significant artefacts in the final
year.

10

Course aims. Course aims are broad statements of intent and should be written to show how the
content of the course meets the aims. Where a course sits within a framework the course aims should
incorporate framework aims.
The main aim for this course is to provide students with a general education in the area of computer
games programming in its full range of applications from console, mobile and web games to computer
simulations. Students will develop an understanding of the need for involvement in order to solve a
problem, the need for communications skills for clarity of problem understanding and solution
propagation, plus awareness of the ethical responsibilities with which a developer must contend.
For a student undertaking a single honours award, the aims are to:

offer a course which is relevant to the needs of industry and commerce and to expose the student
to the latest developments in computer games applications;
develop the intellectual and practical skills associated with the design and development of
computer games from a technical perspective;
develop the ability to communicate in terms of questioning, presentation, and logical
representation in order to specify, resolve and develop games across a wide range of genres.
Designing and developing computer games is an engineering-like study and as such much of it is
sequential in nature, with one subject building on another. The core modules are chosen with this in
mind while designate modules are seen as mutually supportive of the core material.
The degree aims to equip students with programming skills as specified by Skillset in association with
the Computer Games Industry. Choice of modules is constrained and guided in years one and two,
but there is considerable freedom within the core modules in year three for students to explore
areas of personal interest and build up a significant portfolio of work.
Students taking a Sandwich degree would be expected to spend equivalent to one academic year (
42 weeks) in an appropriate industrial context between the intermediate year and the honours year.
Work placements are managed on behalf of the department by the Universitys Employability Unit
who provide the full requirements and regulatory framework.
Students may choose to take a joint degree, in which case they have fewer choices but will always
be guided by their Personal Academic Advisor. This is in recognition of the different backgrounds of
joint students.

11

Description of course and its structure. Around 150 words, written to be accessible to a lay audience,
to be used for marketing purposes. Identify the courses distinctive features (and unique selling point).
What is the pattern of delivery?
This course is specifically designed for those who want to specialise in programming for computer
games. Students develop expertise in creating games for a variety of platforms, including consoles, PC
and mobile devices.
BSc Computer Games Programming has been developed in consultation with Skillset and our Games
Industry Steering Group. It runs in partnership with Gamelab London, the Games Research and
Development studio at London Metropolitan University. All single honours students undertake a 3
month part-time internship with Gamelab at the start of their third year.
Teamwork and portfolio development are an important part of the curriculum and run through the
degree, enabling the creation of high quality, original games. Games programming students have the
opportunity to work in teams with games graphics students to emulate a real game studio
development environment. We encourage students to enter competitions, take part in public gaming
events and participate in our annual showcase for industry.

Section Two: COURSE STRUCTURE AND ASSESSMENT

26
Course assessment strategy
Cognitive - Students will be exposed to various assessment strategies, which are part of the
development and evaluation of their cognitive skills. As the course progresses the student will be
exposed to more complex and ill-defined problems which relate to the world of work.
Practical - Portfolio assessment is increasingly relevant within this type of course and is used
throughout the degree. This represents a highly formative process. Subject specific skills are also
assessed using a range of techniques, such as programming skill tests and via in-course artefact
development.
Transferable skills - Skills are assessed through written reports, demonstrated software solutions,
media presentations, oral presentations and students willingness to work effectively with other
students via group work.
Knowledge - Formative assessment will be a regular feature of the semester, encompassing peer
review, opportunities for QA (Quality Assurance), detailed feedback and guidance from tutors.
Summative assessment such as coursework, presentations and group work will require students to:

model and provide optimal solutions for a given scenario;

demonstrate an understanding of application work flow;
write and present verbal and written reports on development and application-based
approaches to problem solutions.

Summative assessment such as unseen examinations will require students to deal with:

multiple choice tests;

written examinations;
essays and reports, usually of specified length.

Additional Course Related Information

Much of the software we use for programming games is free and easy to download to your personal
computer. Other industry standard multimedia software is available in our labs.
If you want to succeed as a professional games developer, either an artist or a programmer, you need to
develop the determination and motivation to spend time outside University hours to hone your craft. Artists
should always carry a sketchbook and use it to record things every day, like a visual diary. Practice your life
drawing skills. Programmers should play with different development kits and try to mod games that you
usually play. Designers should read widely and maintain a blog with their own thoughts/reviews on different
games.
Enthusiasm, good communication skills (spoken and written) and a friendly, positive attitude to your
colleagues will open many doors, and is an important part of your professional development.
Please see the course website:

7.3
Placements/study abroad
Students in the School of Computing (SoC) are encouraged to do work placement and work-related learning
(WRL) modules which may be short (15 credit) or long (30 credits), full-time or part-time. WRL modules can
include voluntary work or student enterprise, for example in our World of Work (WoW) Agency which provides
real world projects for local industry, and WoW.Biz for work-related opportunities. In addition, SoC holds
regular Student Enterprise Workshops (SEWs) that bring you into contact with employers and ex- students in
relevant jobs. Students may also study abroad: see the university web site for further details.
