Unit Pass Mark for Undergraduate Programmes:
For details on the weightings for classifying undergraduate degrees, please see the Agreed Weightings, by Faculty, to be applied for the Purposes of Calculating the Final Programme Mark and Degree Classification in Undergraduate Programmes.
For detailed rules on progression please see the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes and the relevant faculty handbook.
Please refer to the specific progression/award requirements for programmes with a preliminary year of study, the Gateway programmes and International Foundation programmes.
All undergraduate degree programmes allow the opportunity for a student to exit from a programme with a Diploma or Certificate of Higher Education.
Integrated Master's degrees may also allow the opportunity for a student to exit from the programme with an equivalent Bachelor's degree where a student has achieved 360 credit points, of which 90 must be at level 6, and has successfully met any additional criteria as described in the programme specification.
The opportunities for a student to exit from one of the professional programmes in Veterinary Science, Medicine, and Dentistry with an Award is outlined in the relevant Programme Regulations (which are available as an annex in the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes).
To progress to the Stage 4 of M.Sci students must achieve an average year mark of at least 55%. If a student does not achieve an average mark of 55% they will be automatically moved onto the BSc in Mathematics & Philosophy.
The BSc Science (Maths and Philosophy) is non-accredited.
Students are permitted to conditionally progress to the next year of study and make up a credit deficit where they have failed a unit or units provided this meets the conditions of the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes. For further information and a definition of must pass units and conditional progression please see the Glossary of Terms.
