Regulations for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts by part-time study Regulations for full-time degrees are also applicable to part-time students, with the following exceptions:

Regulation

  1. A part-time degree course may be taken over a minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 years of study, except for Single or combined Honours Modern Language degrees, for which the minimum is 5 years.**

  2. Each degree course will normally consist of 24 units, eight at each level (Year 1 level, Year 2 and Final Year level). A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 units may be taken in each year of study. Combined Honours students may, however, be required to take at least 2 units in each year of study.

Part-time degrees

  1. Students may take a minimum of two and a maximum of six Year 1 units in each year of study. They may not take a different unit as an alternative to a referred unit.

  2. Part-time students may chose to be re-examined/re-assessed in any failed unit whether or not they have reached the pass threshold, but, subject to 'failures' (see above) such re-examination/re-assessment will only be allowed in late August/early September immediately following initial failure.
Individual course requirements apply equally to full-time and part-time students, except the part-time students taking Single or Combined Honours Modern Languages degrees will spend three months (Single Honours) or six months (Combined Honours) abroad, rather than a year.

** It is possible for the student to accelerate completion of the Degree by inserting one year of study on a full-time basis (but the total minimum period of study required would still be five years)
