The progression on to the next stage of your studies for an award of the University is governed by the regulations for the particular award for which you are registered.
The criteria for completing each year of study, other than the final year, and for progression to the next year/level of study, require you to:
- Pass (achieve 40%) all mandatory modules; and
- Pass (achieve 40%) in modules amounting to 90 credits; and
- Achieve at least 40% averaged across all modules and a minimum mark of 35% in all modules.
If you do not achieve the above criteria you will be required to re-sit all modules in which you obtain less than 40%.
Further details about how your studies are assessed can be found in the Code of Practice on Assessment.
