|---|---|---|---|
| 4. Referral | |||
| 4.2.1 | A student Failing in Modules to a maximum of 30 ECTS (60 CATS) who has achieved the University Average Mark for the Part may be awarded credit and a Pass by Compensation in eligible Modules up to a maximum of 15 ECTS (30 CATS). A student may then Refer in up to 15 ECTS (30 CATS) of further modules, with the constraints that all Core Modules and all Modules in which the mark obtained is less than the Qualifying Mark must be Referred and that Referrals may be taken only in the minimum number of credits needed to achieve a Pass in the Part, as long as doing so successfully would enable the student to Pass the Part. A student who cannot obtain a Pass through the permitted number of Referrals is required to Repeat the Part. | Variation A student Failing in Modules equivalent to a maximum of 30 ECTS (60 CATS) may be awarded credit and a Pass by Compensation in eligible Modules up to maximum of 15 ECTS (30 CATS) or equivalent. A student may then be awarded credit equivalent to 15 ECTS (30 CATS) for achieving a Pass in the assessment for HUMA3013 (normally a non-credit bearing module). If a student has not obtained a Pass Mark in HUMA3013 at the first attempt, they may then Refer in HUMA3013 to enable the student to pass the Part. A student who cannot obtain a Pass through the permitted number of Referrals will be required to transfer back to the equivalent non-year abroad programme. | |
| 5. Repeat | |||
| 5.1 | A student who has not progressed to the next Part of the programme at the first attempt and who has either also not progressed after Referral (where permitted) or who does not qualify to take Referral assessments under section 4 above may Repeat the appropriate Part of the programme. | Exemption The compulsory year abroad is exempt from section 5 (Repeat) clause 5.1 of the Progression, Determination and Classification of Results: Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes. It is not possible to Repeat the compulsory year abroad and the student will be required to transfer back to the equivalent non-year abroad programme.

These regulations should be read in conjunction with the programme specification.
Disclaimer:
As a research-led University, we undertake a continuous review of our programmes to ensure quality enhancement and to manage our resources. As a result, these regulations may be revised during a student’s period of registration, however, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Please read our Disclaimer to see why, when and how changes may be made to a student’s programme.
