4.5 Degree Schemes with Sandwich Year, or Integrated year Studying Abroad non-language schemes

1. The standard progression requirement of passing 100 credits in each year of study will apply for the Sandwich Year.

2. Students who fail to progress at the end of Year 2 (or equivalent year prior to the year in industry or year studying abroad) will be required to complete and pass Summer resit assessments in August or repeat the year before embarking on the Sandwich Year.

3. The Sandwich Year will be marked in accordance with published assessment criteria, and the Senate Examination Board will require students who fail to meet the learning outcomes and achieve a minimum mark of 40% or pass the year to transfer onto a related degree scheme which does not include the integrated year in industry or integrated year studying abroad. There may be no resit opportunity where the deadline for the assessment is set in the summer after the semester two examination boards and the mark for the Sandwich Year is considered at the September examination board.

4. In cases where students return from exchange programmes or study year abroad with insufficient credits and/or failures, departmental exam boards should submit recommendations on progression to Senate Examination Board. All recommendations be reviewed by a special circumstances panel which reports Senate Examination Board, in accordance with its terms of reference.
