SAIL is our approach to continual assessment. Learning material in your modules is divided into weekly sections on Brightspace (our Virtual Learning Environment). For each section there is an associated SAIL assessment which is available to work on throughout the week and is most often in a quiz format on Brightspace. The SAIL questions are structured in conjunction with the learning material and you will get immediate feedback after submission at the end of the week. These assessments will help guide your studies from week to week and will form approximately a quarter of your module marks. Our students have found this continual feedback useful as they know where they are with their learning and understanding and the feedback is quick, relating to what they have learnt that week.

(EngineeringEnABLE in an Activity Based Learning Environment)
Ensuring our students are taught and assessed in a stimulating and interesting way is at the heart of our Engineering department.
EnABLE and SAIL
EnABLE is our initiative that provides you with an opportunity to work within professional teams of peers in a guided way under academic supervision to solve real engineering challenges. We link the theory with engineering practice, whilst developing the transferrable skills valued by industry employers, for example, team player and leader, critical thinker and researcher, competent designer, or excellent communicator of new ideas. In the first two years of your course you will be exposed to eight competitive engineering challenges, each lasting around five weeks. These challenges are the stepping stones to improving your personal and professional development and allowing you to build both the confidence and the required competences to take with you into the world of work.
Accreditation These courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and fully meets the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). This accreditation is reviewed on a regular basis. For more detailed course information visit courses.hud.ac.uk

Where your course allows you to choose modules from a range of options, we will review these each year and change them to reflect the expertise of our staff, current trends in research and as a result of student feedback or demand for certain modules. We will always ensure that you have a range of options to choose from and we will let you know in good time the options available for you to choose for the following year.
In exceptional circumstances, we may, for reasons outside of our control, be forced to discontinue or suspend your course. Where this is the case, a formal exit strategy will be followed and we will notify you as soon as possible about what your options are, which may include transferring to a suitable replacement course for which you are qualified, being provided with individual teaching to complete the award for which you were registered, or claiming an interim award and exiting the University. If you do not wish to take up any of the options that are made available to you, then you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the course without liability to the University for future tuition fees and you will be entitled to a refund of all course fees paid to date. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.
Major changes

Covid-19
This brochure was prepared in the spring of 2022 for courses starting in September 2023 and is up to date as at the date of publication. Any subsequent changes to information will be published in the course information listings on our website courses.hud.ac.uk , and you should check this for the latest information before you apply.
Changes to your course after you enrol as a student
If we propose to make a major change to a course that you are holding an offer for, then we will tell you as soon as possible so that you can decide whether to withdraw your application prior to enrolment.
Changes to a course you have applied for
We will always try to deliver your course and other services as described. However, sometimes we may have to make changes as set out below:
Changes to option modules
For example, it may be necessary to make a major change to reflect changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators; to meet the latest requirements of a commissioning or accrediting body; to improve the quality of educational provision; in response to student, examiners’ or other course evaluators’ feedback; and/or to reflect academic or professional changes within subject areas. Major changes may also be necessary because of circumstances outside our reasonable control, such as a key member of staff leaving the University or being unable to teach, where they have a particular specialism that can’t be adequately covered by other members of staff; or due to damage or interruption to buildings, facilities or equipment. Major changes would usually be made with effect from the next academic year, but this may not always be the case. We will notify you as soon as possible should we need to make a major change and will carry out suitable consultation with affected students. If you reasonably believe that the proposed change will cause you detriment or hardship we will, if appropriate, work with you to try to reduce the adverse effect on you or find an appropriate solution. Where an appropriate solution cannot be found and you contact us in writing before the change takes effect you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the University without liability to the University for future tuition fees. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.
Termination of course
The legal bit
We will only make major changes to the core curriculum of a course or to our services if it is necessary for us to do so and provided such changes are reasonable. A major change in this context is a change that materially changes the services available to you; or the outcomes, or a significant part, of your course, such as the nature of the award or a substantial change to module content, teaching days (part time provision), classes, type of delivery or assessment of the core curriculum.
