Examinations

Results in examinations are graded into high distinction, distinction, credit, pass division I, pass division II, pass grade only and fail grades.

A pass division II may be awarded by the board of examiners and may be counted towards the degree, but is not accepted as a prerequisite for a later-year subject in the same discipline. A pass division II may only be awarded in first-year subjects, and students are not permitted more than one division II pass.

Examination timetables will be sent six weeks before the scheduled examination period to each student undertaking a subject which has an examination. Timetables should be checked carefully and any clashes reported to student administration immediately.

Students will receive a list of approved examination centres with their timetable, and must inform student administration immediately of the centre at which they wish to sit for the examination, and the subjects for which an examination is required.

A student will need to demonstrate an abnormal difficulty in attending an approved centre before a request to sit at an alternative centre will be considered.

Examination arrangements are quite complex and any student who fails to supply the requested examination details within the specified time may not be permitted to attend for examination.
