The University regulations for progression and award of degree will apply. In addition, the following School Regulations will apply to the degree programmes listed below.
BEng/MEng Degree Programmes
This statement summarises the full rules which are detailed in the Programme Handbook.
(a) Part 1 (Level C) and Part 2 (Level I)
Parts 1 and 2 each comprise modules totalling 120 credit points (European themes - 140 credit points). Candidates are required to achieve:
- at least 40% on each module
- at least 40% on aggregate (the weighted average of all modules)
A Part 2 candidate wishing to proceed eventually to Part 4 (Level M) is required to obtain an aggregate of 55% in Part 2. Such a candidate achieving 54% or 53% may take 1 or 2 referral papers (respectively) to raise the aggregate. These papers will be those with the lowest marks except that:
- all subjects failed at the subject pass mark must be retaken;
- no subject in which the aggregate pass mark (55%) was achieved will be retaken.
Candidates wishing to follow themes involving study abroad may be required to take additional foreign language modules. Their performance on the assessment of these modules will not affect their progression on the engineering programme but may affect whether they can remain on the European theme.
(b) Part 3 (Level H)
Part 3 comprises modules (one of which is the individual project) totalling 120 credit points (European theme - 140 credit points). In order to pass Part 3, a candidate must achieve an individual project mark of at least 40% and an aggregate mark (including the project) of at least 40%. A candidate failing to do so may have a resit right.
A candidate passing Part 3, whose course terminates for any reason before the successful completion of Part 4,
is eligible for the award of BEng (Hons) depending on the programme concerned.
A candidate wishing to continue to Part 4 (Level M) must normally have:
- achieved at least 55% in Part 2;
- achieved at least 52% in Part 3 (including the project)
MEng Euro students: It is considered that a candidate not achieving 60% in the language examination would be ill-advised to study abroad in the fourth year.
(c) Part 4 (Level M)
Part 4 consists of 150 credit points (European theme - 130 credit points). In order to pass Part 4, a candidate must:
- achieve an aggregate mark of at least 52%, excluding group project(s);
- achieve at least 40% in the group project(s).
A candidate passing Part 4 is eligible for the degree of MEng.
BSc/MEnvSci Degree Programmes
This statement summarises the full rules which are detailed in the Programme Handbook.
(a) Part 1 (Level C) and Part 2 (Level I)
Parts 1 and 2 each comprise modules totalling 120 credit points. Candidates are required to achieve:
- at least 40% on each module
- at least 40% on aggregate (the weighted average of all modules)
A Part 2 candidate wishing to proceed eventually to Part 4 (Level M) is required to obtain an aggregate of 55%. A Part 2 candidate passing (perhaps subject to referral) for BSc but failing to achieve 55% is permitted to resit for MEngSci.
(b) Part 3 (Level H)
Part 3 comprises modules totalling 120 credit points. In order to pass Part 3, a candidate must achieve an individual project mark of at least 40% and an aggregate mark (including the project) of at least 40%. A candidate failing to do so may have a resit right (see below).
A candidate passing Part 3 is eligible for the degree of BSc (Hons). A candidate passing Part 3, whose course terminates for any reason before the successful completion of Part 4, is eligible for the award of BSc (Hons), depending on the programme concerned.
(c) Part 4 (Level M)
Part 4 comprises modules totalling 120 credit points. In order to pass Part 4, a candidate must achieve an aggregate mark of at least 40% and achieve at least 40% in the project.
A candidate passing Part 4 is eligible for the degree of MEnvSci.
Award Requirements
In addition to the above, for the award of BSc in Environmental Sciences (Hons) candidates must have:
- attended the first year field course;
- completed and submitted a research project in Part 3 of the programme;
- met all the core module and progression requirements for Parts 1 and 2 of the programme.
In addition to the above, for the award of Master of Environemental Sciences with Honours candidates must have:
- attended both first and third year field courses;
- completed and submitted a desk-based research project in Part 3 of the programme;
- completed and submitted an advanced research project in Part 4 of the programme;
- met all the core module and progression requirements in Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the programme.
MSc/MRes
This statement summarises the full rules which are detailed in the Programme Handbook. It may also be supplemented by additional rules for individual programmes.
The MSc and MRes degrees consist of two parts: the taught element and the project. For the MSc, the taught element is normally weighted at 120 credit points and the project at 60 credit points. For the MRes, the taught element is weighted at 60 credit points and the project at 120 credit points.
Candidates are required to achieve the module pass mark of 40% or more.
A candidate who successfully completes 120 credit points, achieves 50% or more on aggregate, and passes the project at the appropriate level as defined below is eligible for the MSc.
A candidate who successfuly completes 120 credit points and achieves 40% or more on aggregate but who does not proceed for any reason to qualify for the MSc, is eligible for the award of the Postgraduate Diploma.
Candidates achieving the required aggregate pass mark and showing strong performance, but failing to achieve the pass mark in non-compulsory modules totalling not more than 30 credit points,
may be allowed to progress. The definition of 'strong performance' shall be determined by the Examinations Board.
Referral procedures will be available to candidates who fail to achieve the required aggregate by 3% points or fewer, or who achieve the aggregate pass mark but fail to achieve the pass mark in compulsory modules, or who fail compulsory modules and do not qualify to progress.
The MSc/MRes project dissertation shall be marked on a percentage scale. The pass mark for the dissertation shall be 50%. A candidate failing to achieve this may submit a revised dissertation on one occasion only with either minor or major corrections. The time allowed for minor corrections will be one month and for major corrections three months, in both cases including a single meeting with the supervisor. Such a candidate will not be eligible for Distinction.
MSc in Civil Engineering with Industrial Placement
(additional requirements to University and summarised regulations outlined above)
This statement summarises the full rules which are detailed in the Programme Handbook. It may also be supplemented by additional rules for individual programmes.
Candidates may commence work on the industrial placement at a time agreed by the Programme Leader.
The time will not normally be before modules totalling 120 credit points have been successfuly completed.
Students who progress successfully to the industrial placement but who, for whatever reason, are unable to complete the industrial placement successfully, will graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma.
Dissertations for the industrial placement will be assessed by a single internal examiner and then double marked by a second internal examiner. If the examiners disagree as to grading, a third internal examiner will be appointed to resolve the question. Candidates for Distinction may also be reviewed by a third examiner. The external examiner may review and coment on any project report but may not allocate marks.
EngD/MPhil/PhD
The University regulations for progression and award of degree will apply.
