Existing University Regulation (including link)Approved Variation
2.2Progression, Determination and Classification of Results for Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes
The University standard Average Mark for a Part for undergraduate students on each Part of a programme is 40.
Candidates enrolled on these programmes must achieve an average part mark of 60 at the end of Part II. For MChem Chemistry this variation applies only to placement-bearing pathways.

Additional Requirements

The clause(s) listed below are in addition to the Regulations.

None apply

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.
