Progression

Students normally need to pass all modules to progress from one level to the next (i.e. from level 1 to level 2; from level 2 to level 3). This includes any modules taken outside a student's home department. Where a mark of less than 40 has been given for a module the module mark is recorded as 'Fail'. Students are expected to take all the assessments on all modules. If a student does not take all the assessments a result of 'Not Completed' may be given for the module. Where Fail or Not completed has been given it may be possible to resit the relevant assessment: see the section on resits.

Following an unsuccessful resit attempt the School may allow a student to progress to the next level with Fail or Not Completed recorded for up to 20 credits. This is at the School's discretion. For example, a student would not normally be allowed to progress if a core module is recorded as Fail or Not Completed, if the student has not tried to complete all the assessments, or if the student has been given a mark of less than 30 for a module at level 1.
