The General Academic Regulations which are in Section V (Regulations for Research Degrees and Higher Doctorates) and Section IV (General Information and Regulations) of the University Calendar apply to and regulate the programmes listed above.

On occasion, programmes can be exempted from one or more of the clauses in the Regulations; one or more of the clauses can be varied; and programmes can impose additional requirements.

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

Variations
None apply.


Additional Requirements
The clause(s) listed below are in addition to the Academic Regulations.
iPhD Web Science
  Students enrolled on the iPhD Web Science programme are required to obtain a Merit in their taught component in order to continue in the research phase of that programme. Students who have passed their taught component but did not achieve Merit will be offered a viva, which they are required to pass if they wish to continue to the research component.
PhD Complex Systems Simulation (ECS)
  Students enrolled on the PhD Complex Systems Simulation (ECS) programme 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 Team.
   
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.
