Honours classification for modularised programmes

Grading Quick Guide

Have your say!

 

 

 

Dear Colleague,

In my last bulletin to you, I promised you an update on Honours Classification. This supplement now provides you with an overview of how honours will be calculated for each of our modular programmes.

The supplement also includes a guide to grading which you may find useful in the coming weeks.

I hope that you find this information helpful.

Honours Classification for modularised programmes

Following broad consultation and final approval by Undergraduate Programme Boards, a full list of the methods by which honours will be calculated for each modularised undergraduate programme is now available. Please note that these rules do not apply to students currently in the final stages of the programmes listed. These rules have also been issued to students. Click here to access the classifications.

For more information on this topic, please see the General Regulations which set out the agreed position with regard to the classification of Honours in a steady state environment.
