- Exemptions are characterised by the omission of the relevant clause.
- Variations are characterised by the replacement of the clause with alternative wording.

Exemptions
The clause(s) listed below describe where an exemption to the Regulations exists.
| Existing University Regulation Progression, Determination and Classification of Results: Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes | Approved Exemption | |
| 4. Referral | ||
| 4.2 | A student who fails to progress under paragraphs 3.1 to 3.4, and to whom 4.1 does not apply, may Refer in Failed Modules totalling at most 15 ECTS (30 CATS) | It is not possible to Refer in the compulsory period abroad. That part of the programme is therefore exempt from Clause 4.2 of the Progression, Determination and Classification of Results: Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes. Students will be required to complete or repeat outstanding or missing assessments as necessary. |
| 5. Repeat | ||
| 5.3 | Internal Repeat: A student choosing an Internal Repeat will be required to Repeat all Modules, including those Passed at the first attempt. A student choosing an Internal Repeat is not permitted to change to an External Repeat part way through the year. A student is permitted to select new Option Modules in place of the Option Modules taken at the first attempt. However a student will have no right to Refer in any Modules taken during the Repeat, including Option Modules taken for the first time. The marks achieved at Internal Repeat will be inserted into the marks profile and paragraphs 3.1 to 3.4 applied again to determine Progression. Marks for Modules in which the Module Pass Mark was not obtained at the first attempt, and for any new Option Modules substituted for such modules, will be Capped at the Capped Mark for all calculations related to determination of a final degree classification (see Section 8 below). For all other Modules the mark obtained at Repeat will be carried forward | It is not possible to Repeat the compulsory period abroad. That part of the programme is therefore exempt from clauses 5.3 and 5.4 of the Progression, Determination and Classification of Results: Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes. Students will be required to complete or repeat outstanding or missing assessments as necessary. An Internal Repeat is not possible for the YARP (LANG3005 or LANG3012) and is therefore exempt from Clause 5.3 of the Progression, Determination and Classification of Results: Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes. |
Variations
The clause(s) listed below describe where a variation to the Regulations exists:
Existing University Regulation | Approved Variation | |
| 9. Classified Awards | ||

A weighting of 0:1:2 shall be used to obtain the Final Average Mark for the three Parts of an Honours degree programme, and a weighting of 0:1:2:2 for the four Parts of an integrated Masters programme. This is in addition to weighting by credit points (for example, where Parts III and IV do not contain the same number of credit points). | Weighting of Parts: Part I work shall be excluded from the final degree classification. A weighting of 0:1:2:2 shall be used to obtain the Final Average Mark for the four Parts of an Honours degree programme that includes a compulsory year abroad which is being assessed via the core module LANG3005 or LANG3012. LANG3005 or LANG3012 will be used to determine progression to Part IV. |

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.
