In determining aggregation and progression, there is no restriction on the marks awarded for modules at the Summer Examination of the Repeat Year. Modules taken at the subsequent Supplemental Examination are capped at the pass mark. Subject to capacity, all students - whether they have failed or passed - are allowed to choose this option in an attempt to improve their grade. In the case of a candidate choosing option 2 who failed the first attempt year and who also fails a Repeat Year as a result of failing module(s) already passed in a previous year, a pass for the year will be awarded by the Examination Board, provided the student achieves the Pass and Progression Standard for the year on the combined results from both years. In the case of candidates choosing option 2 who had already passed in their first attempt year but who fail the examination in a Repeat Year as a result of failing module(s) already passed in a previous year the original programme level judgement and associated marks will be awarded by the Examination Board.

Three Year Rule: Candidates must pass/progress within 3 academic years of the date of first registration for First Year, otherwise they cannot continue in the programme.

Repeat Year Examinations:
