About this Handbook<\/a><\/h3>
This handbook is intended to provide students with basic information on the programme content, aims and objectives, teaching and assessment, support and other issues. It indicates what is expected of you, and will help you to make the most of your time on the Programme. It should be read carefully and frequently, and used in conjunction with other material provided by the University and the School (Edinburgh College of Art), especially the Code of Practice for Taught Postgraduate Programmes (also available on the Web at http:\/\/www.acaffairs.ed.ac.uk\/Regulations\/CoP\/PGT\/<\/a>), the Students Association Postgrad Handbook (also known as the \"Postgrad Survival Guide\" available via http:\/\/www.eusa.ed.ac.uk\/<\/a>) and the Architecture General Handbook.\r\n\r\nQuestions or problems should be addressed in the first instance to the Programme Director.\r\nNote: This handbook is published by the Edinburgh College of Art to give information to candidates about the MSc\/Diploma programme. This programme handbook does not supersede the University regulations, and the formal requirements for the programme are as set out in the University's Postgraduate Study Regulations (http:\/\/www.drps.ed.ac.uk\/16-17\/regulations\/postgrad.php<\/a>); a copy of the Degree Programme Table entry for this programme appears in the Appendix of this document. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this handbook is correct at the start of the session. However, details are subject to change during the course of the year, and will then be notified to students as appropriate. The online version of this handbook will also be updated.<\/div><\/div>\n
