Classification:
For students starting in or after the 2018/19 academic year:
Students will take a total of four units of courses. All four units will count towards the calculation of the overall award according to the conditions set out in the Classification Scheme listed above.
Eight marks count towards classification. The lowest mark of the optional courses will automatically be excluded from the degree classification, unless it is a Bad Fail mark at the point of classification in which case Paragraph 3.1.1 of the Classification Scheme shall be applied. The mark excluded from the classification can be a fail (but not a Bad Fail. Any Bad Fail mark will need to be retaken before an award can be made).
Progression:
Students wishing to defer sitting one or more examinations must seek permission according to the Regulations for Taught Masters Degrees. Students must normally pass a minimum of three out of the four compulsory half units in Year One to be able to proceed to Year Two. The Sub-Board Chair/Programme Director has the discretion to consider progression where a student only passes two out of the four compulsory half unit courses. Students are permitted to re-sit failed exams in line with the School's Regulations for Taught Masters Degrees.
Diploma:
This Diploma is classified according to the Scheme for the Award of a Diploma.
Students may be eligible for the award of a Diploma if, as a result of exceptional and unforeseen circumstances, they must leave the MSc programme after completing the four compulsory half units in Year One and two half units in Year Two. All courses count towards the degree classification. A Pass mark of 50 must be achieved in all courses for students to achieve an overall Pass in the Diploma. Students wishing to defer sitting one or more examinations must seek permission according to the Regulations for Diplomas. Students are permitted to re-sit failed exams in line with the School's Regulations for Diplomas.
Certificate:
Students may be eligible for the award of a Certificate if, as a result of exceptional and unforeseen circumstances, they must leave the MSc programme after completing the four compulsory half units in Year One. The Certificate is classified on a Pass/Fail basis only. A Pass mark of 50 needs to be achieved in all courses for students to be eligible for the award of the Certificate. Higher marks in one course cannot compensate a Fail mark in another course. Students wishing to defer sitting one or more examinations must seek permission according to the Regulations for Certificates. Students are permitted to re-sit failed exams in line with the School's Regulations for Certificates.
