offering may be required to re-register for that course, re-attend, complete any assigned course work, pass the examination and pay the associated tuition fee. Students should note that courses may change from year to year, may not be offered in certain years and may be dropped entirely from the programme. This will require the substitution of a course(s) by additional course(s) and will entail re-registration, re-attendance and the payment of appropriate fees.
iii. Credits will be given for each set of course units passed. Each level of the degree programme contains 75 credits.
iv. Where a mark is given for course work a pass mark will not be awarded for the course unless at least 35% is attained in the written examination in that course. The course work shall only be counted for the first examination offering of any course. The second offering examination mark shall, therefore, be based entirely on the second offering examination paper.
4. The degree is composed of a number of courses, which are given at four levels. Level 1 courses are offered at the commencement of the degree programme. These are followed by Level 2 courses. Level 3 and Level 4 courses are taken in the final stages of the degree programme. Courses in all levels are semesterised and examinations are held at the end of each course. Examinations take place at the end of the semester in which the subject is taught and one repeat examination is offered. The repeat examinations for semester 1 and semester 2 examinations are held in September. In the event that a course is changed or modified, then no additional repeat examinations for the original course will be offered. A student may not repeat any examination that the student has already passed. A student is deemed to have completed his/her degree requirements as soon as all required courses have been passed.
5. Progress from Level 1 to Level 2:
i. Students who obtain a total of 75 credits on the combined results of the Semester I and Semester II examinations of the Level 1 courses are eligible for unrestricted entry into Level 2 (second year) courses.
ii. Students who obtain 52 or more credits, but less than 75 credits, may progress to Level 2 and attend courses at that level. However any Level 1 examinations not passed must be repeated.
iii. Students who obtain less than 52 credits in the combined results at the end of Semester I and Semester II examinations of the first year may not remain in the programme. The School may waive this rule in exceptional circumstances.
6. Progress from Level 2 to Level 3 and Level 3 to Level 4:
i. Students wishing to progress to Level 3 must have completed all the exam requirements of Level 1. Students who obtain 52 or more credits, but less than 75 credits, may progress to Level 3 and attend all Level 3 courses. However any Level 2 examinations not passed must be repeated.
ii. Students wishing to progress to Level 4 must have completed all the exam requirements of Level 2. Students who obtain 52 or more credits, but less than 75 credits, may progress to Level 4 and attend all Level 4 courses. However any Level 3 examinations not passed must be repeated.
7. Honours may be awarded in each course and in the degree as a whole.
8. For degree honours classification, a weight of 50% will be given to Level 3 examinations, and 50% to Level 4 examinations.
