  3. Full-time degrees normally consist of three years study (or four years, including a year's residence abroad, for single and combined honours Modern Language degrees). All degrees (with the exception of BA Languages and Contemporary European Studies, and degrees combining two or more Modern Languages where agreement must be reached with the discipline) are normally also available on a part-time basis.

  4. With the permission of the School Board, a student may transfer between full-time and part-time study and vice versa. Part-time students will be subject to the same individual programme requirements as full-time students. A part-time programme shall extend over not less than four and not more than eight academic years, and students will be expected to register for a minimum of two and a maximum of six modules per academic year.

  5. Degree courses are based on a common module structure as follows:

    1. The subjects available in the School are divided into modules; candidates are normally required to take the equivalent of eight modules in each year to form a coherent pattern of study. Each module is normally worth 15 credit points (7.5 ECTS points); for further details of the Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) Regulations; see Section IV.

    2. A module is a self-contained part of a programme of study. Each module will have its own aims and objectives, syllabus and assessment requirements. modules will normally be assessed during and/or at the end of the semester in which the student takes the module.

    3. Schools may specify for each degree course certain modules which candidates for that degree course are required to take in each year. Apart from the specified modules (if any) the choice of modules shall be subject in all cases to programme approval.

  6. If candidates have not attended the required lectures, seminars, classes or laboratory practicals, and have not completed the prescribed work for a degree course to the satisfaction of the Head of Education in the relevant discipline concerned, the Examining Board will have the discretion to mark or not to mark the scripts.

  7. With the permission of the School Board, candidates may transfer from one degree programme to another not later than the end of the second semester of their course. In exceptional circumstances the Board may permit a transfer at a later stage.
