4.10.2 To Qualify for a Foundation Degree

1. Gain an overall weighted average of 40% with passes in 200 credits out of 240 credits over year one and the final year, excluding credits obtained during a sandwich placement.

2. Fail no more than 20 credits in their final year.

3. Pass the sandwich year in the three year foundation degree scheme.

4. Students are normally allowed only TWO opportunities to resit failed modules (with an f indicator) for the bare pass mark of 40% at the next available opportunity (i.e. during the summer assessment resit period in August or in the semester the module is being or had previously been taught).

5. 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, at the next available opportunity (i.e. during the summer assessment resit period in August or in the semester the module is being or had previously been taught).

6. 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.

7. It is not permitted to resit the final year with a clean slate but there will be no restriction on the number of credits that a student may resit in August.
