Reference should be made to the University's General Regulations found in Section IV and Section V (Higher Degree Regulations) of the University Calendar.

Except where an opt-out has been granted by the University (see below) the following academic regulations apply in addition to the General Regulations.

1. Admissions
 
Specific entry criteria are detailed in the Programme Specifications.


2. Structure of Programme(s)
 
The structure of each programme is set out in the Programme Specification.


3. Progression
 
Standard University progression rules for postgraduate taught awards apply as detailed in Section IV of the University Calendar.


4. Assessment
 
Assessment of examinations and coursework is in accordance with University regulations (see University Calendar Section IV).

When students repeat modules externally, it may be impractical for them to undertake the normal assessment activities, for example assessed laboratory or group work. In such cases where external repeat is permitted, the Faculty will provide an alternative but equivalent form of assessment which will meet the required learning outcomes.


5. Award of Qualification(s)
 
The final award is awarded by Senate on the recommendation of the Examination Board to candidates who have satisfactorily completed an approved course of study and have satisfied the assessment requirements.


6. Placements/Study Abroad/Exchange/Fieldwork
 
Details are given in the programme specifications.


7. Other
 
These regulations may be revised during the student's period of registration in accordance with the procedures approved by Senate.

Candidates are required to satisfy the academic and attendance requirements of the programme as laid out in the Programme Specification and the Student Handbook for the programme. Those failing to do so may have their course terminated.
