Existing University Regulation | Approved Variation | |
| 2. Definitions specific to Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes | ||
| 2.2 | The University standard Average Mark for a Part for undergraduate students on each Part of a programme is 40. Where professional standards, including but not limited to PSRB requirements, require a Module Pass Mark that differs from the University standard this will be stated in the relevant programme regulations. | Candidates enrolled on these programmes must achieve an average part mark of 60 at the end of Part II. For MChem Chemistry this variation applies only to placement-bearing pathways. |
Additional Requirements
The clause(s) listed below are in addition to the Regulations.
None apply
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.
