Examination grades
- HD High distinction, with marks in the range 80-100 per cent.
- D Distinction, with marks in the range 70-79 per cent.
- C Credit, with marks in the range 60-69 per cent.
- P Pass, with marks in the range 50-59 per cent.
- NP Near pass (previously `PII pass'), with marks in the range
45-49. This grade counts for the purpose of the academic record of the student,
but no more than one NP grade may be counted in a pair of sequential subjects
if being used as prerequisites for a higher level subject or subjects. Students
should note that, whereas they may be awarded any number of NP grades
during their whole course of studies, they are restricted in qualifying for the
award of their degree, to counting not more than twenty-four points of subjects
at NP level, with not more than eighteen points at levels one and two, and not
more than twelve points at level three. Students must prepare to repeat the
work in the other NP subjects if they are to be counted towards qualifying for
the degree.
- NN Fail result, with marks in the range 0-44 per cent.
Honours results are notified in the following grades without marks:
- HI Honours, first class;
- HIIA Honours, second class A;
- HIIB Honours, second class B;
- HIII Honours, third class.
As an MSc part 1 program does not
lead to a course award, results are notified as follows:
- SFR (equivalent honours grade) meaning that the student has
satisfied the program requirements at an equivalent honours grade of HI, HIIA,
HIIB or HIII as indicated within the brackets;
- NE Not examinable, ie a code to indicate that the program is not
complete in the current year;
- NN Fail result.
