outstanding Level 1 courses must be obtained before entering Level 3.

All courses in BBLS Level 1 must be passed within two years of entering Level 1. Otherwise the student may not

on the same basis. Exemption will be at the discretion of the Academic Council, on the recommendation of the Board of

Repeat Examinations
Students who fail or defer an examination in a specified subject may take the examination at the next sitting. Candidates
will be permitted to defer only in special cases and with the permission of the Programme Director. Credit for continuous
assessment will carry through only to the next available sitting of the failed or deferred examination.
Students should note that courses may change from year to year, may not be offered in certain years and may be dropped
entirely from the programme. Where a failed or deferred subject is not offered, a different course may be substituted in
order to gain the requisite credits. Students must re-register, re-attend and pay appropriate fees for the alternate subject.
In the case of a subject which is repeated successfully, the mark recorded shall be higher of either (a) 40% or (b) the
average of the original mark and the repeat mark for the subject. Candidates who repeat are eligible for honours on the
basis of their overall grade for the subject.
