4.3.2 Students who entered Part Two of an Integrated Master’s Scheme FROM September 2019

1. The module pass mark at Level Two and Level Three is 40%.  The module pass mark at Level M is 50%.

2. Students may fail no more than 20 credits across Level Two and Level Three, and fail no more than 20 credits at Level M, which contribute to the final award classification (excluding level ‘S’ modules, i.e. marks gained from a Sandwich/Intercalary year).

3. Students will be required to achieve an overall average of 55% in the second year in order to progress to the third year. Students must pass a minimum of 100 credits in the second year to progress to the third year. Students failing to achieve this minimum requirement will be required to transfer to a Bachelor’s degree. Students must pass the second year to be allowed to progress to an industrial year.

4. Students are normally allowed only TWO opportunities to resit failed modules (with an F indicator) at Level Two and Three for the bare pass mark of 40%. Students who have failed 80 credits or fewer will be required to take the first resit opportunity for all assessments in the summer resit assessment period in August. The second resit opportunity for any failed modules must take place during the following session, in the semester the module is being, or had previously, been taught.

5. Students who have failed more than 80 credits will be required to repeat the year.

6. Students are normally allowed only TWO opportunities to resit failed modules at Level M for the bare pass mark of 50%. Students who have failed 80 credits or fewer will be required to take the first resit opportunity for all assessments in the summer resit assessment period in August. The second resit opportunity for any failed modules must take place during the following session, in the semester the module is being, or had previously, been taught.

7. Students are normally allowed only ONE opportunity to resit modules for a full mark (with an H indicator) where special circumstances MUST have been considered and approved by the University. This would be during the summer resit assessment period in August if the total number of credits is 80 credits or less, or by repeating the year.

8. Students are allowed to be assessed on a maximum of 80 credits in the August resit period. Students who have failed more than 80 credits are not allowed to take any resits in August, and must repeat the year.

9. To progress from the third year of study, students must pass a minimum of 220 credits taken in years 2 and 3.

10. Students who have qualified for their degree will not be able to take any remaining F resit opportunities. Students who have not yet qualified may take any remaining resit opportunities to enable them to achieve the required standard.
