Assessment strategy

As determined by the host institution.

Regulations around repeat attempts are governed by the host institution we partner with. Not all partners offer the opportunity of repeat attempts in their regulations, and you are strongly advised to clarify the position of your host institution. Where no repeat attempts are available at your host institution, there is provision to repeat the semester at the University of Southampton.
