Assessment, marking, feedback and standards

The University’s formal policies and procedures relating to the conduct of assessment can be found on our website. There is clear and detailed information on each aspect of student assessment and is a useful resource if you want to know more about how your work is assessed.

However, your programme is exempt from some of the University assessment rules, in particular the compensation rules, and therefore a summary of assessment rules for your award is provided in the following sections.

In all Stages of your programme you must pass each assessment on the programme at either first or second attempt. Any failure at second attempt, without valid exceptional circumstances and with a mark below 40%, would constitute a programme failure and consequently you would be discontinued from your programme.
