Assessment and Grading: Courses are assessed by coursework and examination. A grade of 40% for each component of the course is required to pass.
It is possible to take an official alternative examination assessment to be completed during term time rather than returning to the university for the main exam period – this can be registered in the first week. The last day of term would then be the last day of the teaching period.
