Executive Global Masters in Management - Progression Rules
Candidates who attain at least a Pass grade in MG440E, MG441E and MG443E will be eligible to proceed into the second year. FM475E and MG445E are not required for progression.

A student who does not meet this criterion must resit all failed/deferred papers in accordance with the resit process detailed below. If, following the resit attempt, a student:

• has attained at least a Pass grade in each of the first year papers, he/she will be eligible to proceed into the second year.
• has attained at least a Pass grade in at least one of the first year papers, he/she will be eligible to proceed into the second year:
  - at the discretion of the Chair of the Sub-Board of Examiners; and
  - subject to ratification by the Graduate School Board of Examiners (GSBE).
• Has failed all of the first year papers, he/she will not be eligible to proceed into the second year, as he/she will no longer be able to successfully complete the programme according to the School's Scheme for the Award of a Taught Master's Degree (four units).

The marks of any student who fails up to two papers over the course of the programme will be subject to the penalty rules stipulated at paragraph 3.2 of the School's Scheme for the Award of a Taught Master's Degree (four units).

Executive Global Masters in Management - Resit Process
A student shall normally be entitled to re-sit any failed courses only (on one occasion).

For first year courses required for progression, where the individual assessment takes the form of an assignment or take home exam, once grades have been ratified, the faculty member responsible for the failed first year course will set the new paper and deadline for re-submission to take place as soon as possible and before the beginning of the second year. Results for resits and any subsequent progression will be agreed by the Chair of the Sub-Board of Examiners and will be subject to ratification by the Graduate School Board of Examiners. If a student does not re-submit an assignment/exam by the deadline set, they will be deemed to have failed the course.

The results of first year courses FM475E and MG445E will be formally ratified by the Sub-Board of Examiners and Graduate School Board of Examiners in November. If it is determined that as a result of a fail in one or both of these courses an award cannot be made the faculty member responsible for the failed course will set the new paper and deadline for re-submission to take place as soon as possible. A candidate resitting these courses cannot graduate until the July Sub-Board and Graduate School Board of Examiners has met to ratify their results.

For second year courses, once grades have been ratified by the Sub-Board of Examiners and it is determined that an award cannot be made, the faculty member responsible for the failed second year course will set the new paper and deadline for re-submission to take place as soon as possible. Results for resits and subsequent classification will be agreed by the Chair of the Sub-Board of Examiners and will be subject to ratification by the Graduate School Board of Examiners. If a student does not re-submit an assignment/exam by the deadline set, they will be deemed to have failed the course. Resits for second year courses will result in delayed Graduation.
