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
 
The Programmes follow the University Regulations for Admission to Degree Programmes specified in Section IV of the University Calendar.


2. Structure of Programme(s)
 
The Programmes follow the University regulations specified in Section IV of the University Calendar as a two year or 18 month integrated degree leading to the award of a Masters degree.

The programme consists of two parts. Part I is a preparatory programme for masters level study considered under the undergraduate regulations for Progression, Determination and Classification of Results and Part II is considered under the regulations for standalone Masters Progression, Determination and Classification of Results: Standalone Masters Programmes. The programme structure for Part I is described in the programme specification. Part II is a Master's programme from an approved list of destination programmes at the University of Southampton.

The Faculty may specify for each programme core modules which candidates for that programme are required to take or complete successfully. Apart from the core modules (if any) the choice of optional modules shall be subject in all cases to programme leader approval.


3. Progression
 
The Programmes follow the University Regulations for Progression, Determination and Classification of Results specified in Section IV of the University Calendar.

Progression from the pre-Masters course (Part I) to the masters programme (Part II) requires the achievement of a qualifying mark distinct to the pass mark overall and with achieved marks in stipulated modules. These requirements are detailed in the programme specification.

Candidates who do not achieve the qualifying mark in Part I to progress to their Part II of the programme may refer in the English for Masters and a maximum of two subject specific modules. The marks achieved at referral will be capped at the specified progression mark for the relevant module. These capped marks will be used for all subsequent calculations related to progression.

If candidates have not attended the required lectures, seminars, classes or laboratory practicals, and have not completed the prescribed work for a degree course, the Examining Board will have the discretion to mark or not to mark the scripts.


4. Assessment
 
The Programmes follow the University Regulations for Progression, Determination and Classification of Results specified in Section IV of the University Calendar.

The performance of candidates shall be assessed by the Board of Examiners in accordance with the University's regulations governing examinations for the relevant programme(s) of study.


5. Award of Qualification(s)
 
The Programmes follow the University Regulations for the Progression, Determination and Classification of Results specified in Section IV of the University Calendar.

Part I is an initial qualifying programme and does not contribute towards the overall calculation of final award.

As a research-led University, we undertake a continuous review of our programmes to ensure quality enhancement and to manage our resources. As a result, these regulations may be revised during a student’s period of registration, however, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Please read our Disclaimer to see why, when and how changes may be made to a student’s programme.

Students' attendance will be monitored and repeated non-attendance may result in termination of studies.
