The regulations in Section IV (General Information and Regulations) and Section V (Higher Degree Regulations) in the University Calendar are applicable for the listed programmes.

On occasion, programmes can be exempted from one or more of the clauses in the General Academic Regulations, or one or more of the clauses can be varied.

Exemptions are characterised by the omission of the relevant clause.
Variations are characterised by the replacement of the clause with alternative wording.
The programmes listed have approval from the Academic Quality and Standards Committee for the exemptions and/or variations to the regulations noted below.

Additional requirements are also listed.

Exemptions

There are no exemptions to these regulations.

Variations

The taught component is assessed under the University regulations for Standalone Masters Programmes with additional requirements below.

Additional Requirements relating to the award of Qualification

In order to qualify for the awards listed, candidates must additionally:
1.	For students on the NGCM, SIS and ESA themes of the iPhD, an overall average mark of 55% or above is required in the taught component, together with a project mark of 55% or more, in order to continue in the research phase of that programme. Students who have passed their taught component but do not achieve an overall average mark of 55% or above may choose to take an MSc as an exit award, provided they have met the requirements of the University regulations for standalone masters.
2.	Students on the Complex Systems Simulation iPhD progress from the taught component to the research component if they have passed all modules, obtained an average mark of 60% or more on all taught modules, achieved a project mark of 65% or more, and provided a fully developed research proposal which has been approved by the Programme Executive.

These regulations should be read in conjunction with the programme specification.

Disclaimer

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.
