BE DEGREE PROGRAMMES - GENERAL REGULATIONS
Definitions:
For the purposes of these regulations, the following terms are defined:
University Examination means the entire assessment of a student in a particular year of the degree programme.
Degree Examination means the University Examination in the final year of the degree programme.
Formal Examination means an examination, written or otherwise, conducted under traditional examination conditions.
This will normally take place during one of the examination periods defined by the University.
Coursework means any work other than a Formal Examination, such as practical work, presentations, project work,
assignments or tests. Coursework will normally be carried out and assessed during the academic terms of the University,
but the Examiners may decide that it should be carried out and assessed at other times.
Subject means a part of a University Examination in which the student is required to attain an acceptable standard in order
to pass the University Examination. A Subject can be identified by the presence of a mark in the column headed “Subject
Marks” in the tables of marks which follow.
The assessment of a student’s performance in a Subject may be based on one or more Formal Examinations, or on
Coursework, or on any combination of these. The number of Formal Examinations in a Subject is indicated in the column
headed “No. of Papers” in the tables of marks which follow. Where more than 10% of the marks in a Subject are based on
Coursework, this is indicated in the tables of marks which follow.
The main Formal Examination(s) in any Subject will be the first occasion in any academic year on which the Formal
Examination(s) may be taken. This may be in any of the examination periods defined by the University. Except in the
Degree Examination, a supplemental (or “repeat”) examination in any Subject may take place in the “Autumn”
examination period.
Progression and Time Limits
A student must pass the relevant University Examination in order to proceed to the following year of the degree
programme.
A student must pass the First University Examination within two years of entering the degree programme.
A student must pass the Second University Examination within two years of passing the First University Examination.
A student must pass the Third University Examination within two years of passing the Second University Examination.
There is no time limit for passing the BE Degree Examination.
Exceptions to these rules may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, only for very serious reasons.
Such exceptions will be reported to the Academic Council of the University.
Optional Subjects and Optional Components
Where a student is required to choose a particular number of optional Subjects, no more than the required number of
optional Subjects will be taken into account in determining the result of the University Examination. If a student has marks
in more than the required number of optional subjects, the optional subject(s) with the lowest mark(s) will be ignored.
Where a student is required to choose a particular number of optional components within a Subject, no more than the
required number of optional components will be taken into account in determining the total mark for the Subject. If a
student has marks in more than the required number of optional components, the optional component(s) with the lowest
marks will be ignored.
Re-taking Examinations – General Rules
Where a student is to be re-assessed in any Subject, either in Supplemental examinations or in the Main examinations of a
later academic year, the following general rules apply, along with the specific rules given later:

In a Subject with both Formal Examination(s) and Coursework, if a student’s performance in the Coursework was
satisfactory at the first attempt, the Coursework mark may be retained and used in calculating total Subject marks in
subsequent attempts. If the student’s performance in Coursework was not satisfactory, the Examiners may require the
student to re-attempt some or all component(s) of Coursework, or may hold a special examination or set a special
assignment in lieu of some or all component(s) of Coursework. Where this occurs, the resulting mark will replace the
original mark for the component(s) of Coursework in question.

In a Subject with a small component of Coursework (10% or less of Subject marks), the Examiners may decide to
ignore the Coursework and derive the total Subject marks entirely from the Formal Examination(s) in the subsequent
attempts.
113

Where the regulations, Subjects, or syllabi have changed from the year of the first attempt, a student who is re-taking
examinations may choose to be assessed entirely under the old regulations, or entirely under the new regulations.
However, following a change in the syllabus of a Subject, or the deletion of a Subject, examination papers based on the
old syllabus will be provided for at most one year. In exceptional cases where a student requires an examination which
is no longer available, the Examiners may decide on a substitute Subject or examination.
FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS
Pass Standard
In each Subject, a mark of at least 40% of the available marks is required in order to pass in that Subject. In some cases an
additional requirement may be imposed under the Inadequate Result rule (see below). Limited compensation between
Subjects is permitted (see below). A student must pass or compensate in each of the Subjects listed in the tables which
follow, in order to pass the University Examination.
Inadequate Result
In any Subject where the assessment consists entirely of Coursework, if a student fails to satisfy the Examiners in a
significant component of that Coursework, the Examiners may refuse to award a pass mark, or to permit compensation. In
such a case, the Examiners may declare an Inadequate Result (IR), and no mark will be awarded.
In any other Subject where the assessment consists of distinct components, such as more than one Formal Examination, or
a combination of Formal Examination(s) and Coursework, the Examiners may refuse to award a pass mark, or to permit
compensation, if a student’s mark in a significant component of the assessment is less than 20% of the available marks for
that component. In such a case, the Examiners may declare an Inadequate Result (IR), and no mark will be awarded.
However this latter rule may not be used unless the distinct components of the assessment, and the marks assigned to each
component, are shown in the relevant table of marks below. Also, it may not be used to declare an Inadequate Result due to
poor performance in any component of a Subject which accounts for less than 25% of the total marks for the Subject.
In the case of examinations for students in Chemical Engineering, an IR shall not be returned for any Subject without prior
discussion with the Internal Examiners in Chemical Engineering.
Compensation
A student may be permitted to use surplus marks in some subjects to compensate for small deficiencies in other subjects.
The following rules apply:

Compensation is permitted in at most two Subjects, except as follows. In the Main examinations, if the number of
Subjects in the relevant year of the degree programme is 10 or more, compensation may be permitted in three Subjects.
In the supplemental examinations, if a student is being re-assessed in 10 or more Subjects, compensation may be
permitted in three Subjects.

Compensation is not permitted in any Subject where the mark is less than 30% of the available marks, nor where an
Inadequate Result has been declared by the Examiners.

Surplus marks are marks above 40% of the available marks in a Subject, except in Subjects where the assessment
consists entirely of Coursework, where only marks above 50% may be used as surplus.

Compensation is only permitted if the student has surplus marks totalling at least twice the total deficiency. Note that
this calculation is done using marks, not percentages.
Supplemental Examinations
A student who, after the Main examinations in any academic year, has not passed the University Examination, may be reassessed in the Supplemental examinations in the same academic year. The following rules apply:

A student who has obtained a pass mark in any Subject may retain that mark until the end of the academic year, and
need not take the supplemental examinations in that Subject in the same academic year.

Normally, only the Formal Examination(s) in a Subject will be offered in the Supplemental examinations. However, in
exceptional circumstances, the Examiners may permit a student to re-attempt some component of Coursework, or may
hold a special examination or set a special assignment in lieu of that component of Coursework.

Compensation is permitted in the supplemental examinations, under the rules above. Subject marks retained from the
main examinations may be used for the purposes of calculating surplus marks for compensation in the supplemental
examinations.

A student who has obtained a pass mark in a Subject will not be re-assessed in that Subject in the supplemental
examinations. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, but only for very
serious reasons, and normally only where a student is to be re-assessed in all Subjects in the supplemental
examinations.
114
Re-taking Examinations in a Later Year
A student who does not pass the University Examination within one academic year may take at least the Formal
Examinations in any Subject again. The following rules apply:

In any Subject where the assessment consists entirely of Coursework, a student who has obtained a pass mark may
retain that mark, and need not be assessed in that Subject again. Such a retained mark may be used for the purposes of
calculating surplus marks for compensation in a later academic year.

In any other Subject, a student who has obtained a mark of at least 50% of the available marks in the Subject will be
exempt from further examination in that Subject. Subject marks obtained in a previous academic year may not be used
for the purposes of calculating surplus marks for compensation (except where the assessment in the Subject consists
entirely of coursework, as above).

Supplemental examinations may be used, under the same rules as for the year of the first attempt.
Honours Standard
In order to be eligible for the award of Honours, a student must have passed the University Examination after the Main
Examinations in the academic year of his or her first registration for the relevant year of the degree programme. Exceptions
to this rule may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, but only for very serious reasons.

First Class Honours may be awarded to a student who has a total mark (the sum of all Subject marks) of at least 70%
of the available marks, and not more than one Subject mark below 40%.

Second Class Honours may be awarded to a student who does not meet the requirements for First Class Honours, but
has a total mark of at least 60% of the available marks, and not more than one Subject mark below 40%.
BE DEGREE EXAMINATIONS
Pass Standard
In each Subject, a mark of at least 40% of the available marks is required in order to pass in that Subject. A student must
pass in each of the Subjects listed in the tables which follow, in order to pass the BE Degree Examination. To be eligible
for the award of the BE degree, a student must also meet a language requirement.
Language Requirement
Students who entered any of the Engineering degree programmes prior to 2004 shall be required to pass an examination in
a language approved by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture.
Students entering any of the Engineering degree programmes in 2004 or later shall be required to reach a defined level of
attainment in a third language, approved by the Faculty, in order to be eligible for the award of the BE degree. Students
entering with a grade C3 at Higher Level in the Leaving Certificate examination of the Republic of Ireland, or its
equivalent, in an approved language will be deemed to meet the language requirement.
Re-taking Examinations
A student who does not pass the BE degree Examination at the first attempt may be re-examined in a later academic year.
A student who has obtained a mark of at least 45% of the available marks in any Subject will be exempt from further
examination in that Subject.
Honours Standards
In order to be eligible for the award of Honours, a student must have passed the BE Degree Examination in the academic
year of his or her first registration for the final year of the degree programme. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the
Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, only for very serious reasons. Such exceptions will be reported to the Academic
Council of the University

First Class Honours may be awarded to a student who has a total mark (see below) of at least 70% of the available
marks, and meets the special requirements below.

Second Class Honours Grade 1 may be awarded to a student who does not meet the requirements for First Class
Honours, but has a total mark (see below) of at least 60% of the available marks.

Second Class Honours Grade 2 may be awarded to a student who has a total mark (see below) of at least 50% but less
than 60% of the available marks.
Total Mark for Determination of Honours
The total mark will be the sum of the Subject marks, except in three degree programmes:
Chemical Engineering: the total mark will be calculated by adding 30% of the overall percentage mark obtained
by the student in the Third University Examination in the summer following the first registration for the third year
of the degree programme to 70% of the overall percentage mark obtained in the BE Degree examination.
115
Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering: the total mark will be calculated by adding to the sum of the
Subject marks, a number derived by scaling the total mark obtained by the student in the Coursework and Main
Formal Examinations of the Third University Examination, in the academic year of his or her first registration for
the third year of the degree programme. This scaling shall be such as to scale the added marks to a maximum of
400, representing 20% of the resulting total mark.
In these three degree programmes, in exceptional circumstances, and with the prior approval of the Faculty of Engineering
and Architecture, the total mark of an individual student may be based solely upon the marks obtained in the BE Degree
Examination. Such exceptions will be reported to the Academic Council of the University.
Special Requirements
Chemical Engineering: to be eligible for the award of First Class Honours, a student must obtain a mark of at
least 60% of the available marks in the Subject Year’s Work in the fourth year of the degree programme.
Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering: to be eligible for the award of First Class Honours, a student
must obtain a mark of at least 60% of the available marks in the Subject Year’s Work in the fourth year of the
degree programme, and must also obtain a mark of at least 40% of the available marks in one of the optional
Mathematics components in the fourth year of the degree programme.
LANGUAGE EXAMINATIONS
Examinations
Language examinations may take place at any time of the year, and may consist of any combination of written, aural and
oral examinations.
A student may take the language examination during any year of the degree programme. A student may re-take the
language examination as often as required, but must take all the parts of the examination in the same academic year.
Grades
Grades will be awarded as follows, depending on the marks obtained, expressed as a percentage of the total marks
available:
Percentage Mark
Grade
70% or more
A
60% or more but less than 70%
B
50% or more but less than 60%
C
40% or more but less than 50%
D
Less than 40%
F
Pass Standard
A grade D or better is required in order to pass the language examination and satisfy the requirement for the award of the
BE Degree.
In addition a certificate will be awarded to a student who obtains grade C or better, and whose attendance at language
classes has been satisfactory, and who has passed the First University Examination in one of the Engineering degree
programmes. The certificate will provide information about the course and indicate the grade achieved by the candidate.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING WITH ARCHITECTURE) DEGREE
Examination Regulations
Definitions
For the purposes of these regulations, the following terms are defined:
University Examination means the entire assessment of a student in a particular year of the degree programme.
Degree Examination means the University Examination in the final year of the degree programme.
Formal Examination means an examination, written or otherwise, conducted under traditional examination conditions.
This will normally take place during one of the examination periods defined by the University.
Coursework means any work other than a Formal Examination, such as practical work, presentations, project work,
assignments or tests. Coursework will normally be carried out and assessed during the academic terms of the University,
but the Examiners may decide that it should be carried out and assessed at other times.
Subject means a part of a University Examination in which the student is required to attain an acceptable standard in order
to pass the University Examination. A Subject can be identified by the presence of a mark in the column headed “Subject
Marks” in the tables of marks which follow.
The assessment of a student’s performance in a Subject may be based on one or more Formal Examinations, or on
Coursework, or on any combination of these. The number of Formal Examinations in a Subject is indicated in the column
headed “No. of Papers” in the tables of marks which follow. Where more than 10% of the marks in a Subject are based on
Coursework, this is indicated in the tables of marks which follow.
The main Formal Examination(s) in any Subject will be the first occasion in any academic year on which the Formal
Examination(s) may be taken. This may be in any of the examination periods defined by the University. Except in the
Degree Examination, a supplemental (or “repeat”) examination in any Subject may take place in the “Autumn”
examination period.
Progression and Time Limits
A student must pass the relevant University Examination in order to proceed to the following year of the degree
programme.
A student must pass the First University Examination within two years of entering the degree programme.
A student must pass the Second University Examination within two years of passing the First University Examination.
There is no time limit for passing the BSc (Structural Engineering with Architecture) Degree Examination.
Exceptions to these rules may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, only for very serious reasons.
Such exceptions will be reported to the Academic Council of the University.
127
Optional Subjects and Optional Components
Where a student is required to choose a particular number of optional Subjects, no more than the required number of
optional Subjects will be taken into account in determining the result of the University Examination. If a student has marks
in more than the required number of optional Subjects, the optional Subject(s) with the lowest mark(s) will be ignored.
Where a student is required to choose a particular number of optional components within a Subject, no more than the
required number of optional components will be taken into account in determining the total mark for the Subject. If a
student has marks in more than the required number of optional components, the optional component(s) with the lowest
mark(s) will be ignored.
Re-taking Examinations – General Rules
Where a student is to be re-assessed in any Subject, either in Supplemental examinations or in the Main examinations of a
later academic year, the following general rules apply, along with the specific rules given later:

In a Subject with both Formal Examination(s) and Coursework, if a student’s performance in the Coursework was
satisfactory at the first attempt, the Coursework mark may be retained and used in calculating total Subject marks in
subsequent attempts. If the student’s performance in Coursework was not satisfactory, the Examiners may require the
student to re-attempt some or all component(s) of Coursework, or may hold a special examination or set a special
assignment in lieu of some or all component(s) of Coursework. Where this occurs, the resulting mark will replace the
original mark for the component(s) of Coursework in question.

In a Subject with a small component of Coursework (10% or less of Subject marks), the Examiners may decide to
ignore the Coursework, and derive the total Subject marks entirely from the Formal Examination(s) in the subsequent
attempts.

Where the regulations, Subjects, or syllabi have changed from the year of the first attempt, a student who is re-taking
examinations may choose to be assessed entirely under the old regulations, or entirely under the new regulations.
However, following a change in the syllabus of a Subject, or the deletion of a Subject, examination papers based on the
old syllabus will be provided for at most one year. In exceptional cases, where a student requires an examination
which is no longer available, the Examiners may decide on a substitute Subject or examination.
First and Second University Examinations
Pass Standard
In each Subject, a mark of at least 40% of the available marks is required in order to pass in that Subject. In some cases an
additional requirement may be imposed under the Inadequate Result rule (see below). Limited compensation between
Subjects is permitted (see below). A student must pass or compensate in each of the Subjects listed in the tables which
follow, in order to pass the University Examination.
Inadequate Result
In any Subject where the assessment consists entirely of Coursework, if a student fails to satisfy the Examiners in a
significant component of that Coursework, the Examiners may refuse to award a pass mark, or to permit compensation. In
such a case, the Examiners may declare an Inadequate Result (IR), and no mark will be awarded.
In any other Subject where the assessment consists of distinct components, such as more than one Formal Examination, or
a combination of Formal Examination(s) and Coursework, the Examiners may refuse to award a pass mark, or to permit
compensation, if a student’s mark in a significant component of the assessment is less than 20% of the available marks for
that component. In such a case, the Examiners may declare an Inadequate Result (IR), and no mark will be awarded.
However, this latter rule may not be used unless the distinct components of the assessment, and the marks assigned to each
component, are shown in the relevant table of marks below. Also, it may not be used to declare an Inadequate Result due
to poor performance in any component of a Subject which accounts for less than 25% of the total marks for the Subject.
Compensation
A student may be permitted to use surplus marks in some Subjects to compensate for small deficiencies in other Subjects.
The following rules apply:

Compensation is permitted in at most two Subjects, except as follows: In the Main examinations, if the number of
Subjects in the relevant year of the degree programme is 10 or more, compensation may be permitted in three Subjects.
In the Supplemental examinations, if a student is being re-assessed in 10 or more Subjects, compensation may be
permitted in three Subjects.

Compensation is not permitted in any Subject where the mark is less than 30% of the available marks, nor where an
Inadequate Result has been declared by the Examiners.

Surplus marks are marks above 40% of the available marks in a Subject, except in Subjects where the assessment
consists entirely of Coursework, where only marks above 50% may be used as surplus.
128

Compensation is only permitted if the student has surplus marks totalling at least twice the total deficiency. Note that
this calculation is done using marks, not percentages.
Supplemental Examinations
A student who, after the Main examinations in any academic year, has not passed the University Examination, may be reassessed in the Supplemental examinations in the same academic year. The following rules apply:
A student who has obtained a pass mark in any Subject may retain that mark until the end of the academic year, and need
not take the supplemental examinations in that Subject in the same academic year.
Normally, only the Formal Examination(s) in a Subject will be offered in the Supplemental examinations. However, in
exceptional circumstances, the Examiners may permit a student to re-attempt some component of Coursework, or may hold
a special examination or set a special assignment in lieu of that component of Coursework.
Compensation is permitted in the supplemental examinations, under the rules above. Subject marks retained from the main
examinations may be used for the purposes of calculating surplus marks for compensation in the supplemental
examinations.
A student who has obtained a pass mark in a Subject will not be re-assessed in that Subject in the supplemental
examinations. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, but only for very
serious reasons, and normally only where a student is to be re-assessed in all Subjects in the supplemental examinations.
Re-taking Examinations in a Later Year
A student who does not pass the University Examination within one academic year may take at least the Formal
Examinations in any Subject again. The following rules apply:

In any Subject where the assessment consists entirely of Coursework, a student who has obtained a pass mark may
retain that mark, and need not be assessed in that Subject again. Such a retained mark may be used for the purposes of
calculating surplus marks for compensation in a later academic year.

In any other Subject, a student who has obtained a mark of at least 50% of the available marks in the subject will be
exempt from further examination in that Subject. Subject marks obtained in a previous academic year may not be used
for the purposes of calculating surplus marks for compensation (except where the assessment in the Subject consists
entirely of coursework, as above).

Supplemental examinations may be used, under the same rules as for the year of the first attempt.
Honours Standards
In order to be eligible for the award of Honours, a student must have passed the University Examination after the Main
examinations in the academic year of his or her first registration for the relevant year of the degree programme. Exceptions
to this rule may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, but only for very serious reasons.

First Class Honours may be awarded to a student who has a total mark (the sum of all Subject marks) of at least 70%
of the available marks, and not more than one Subject mark below 40%.

Second Class Honours may be awarded to a student who does not meet the requirements for First Class Honours, but
has a total mark of at least 60% of the available marks, and not more than one Subject mark below 40%.
BSc (Structural Engineering with Architecture) Degree Examination
Pass Standard
In each Subject, a mark of at least 40% of the available marks is required in order to pass in that Subject. A student must
pass in each of the Subjects listed in the tables which follow, in order to pass the B.Sc. Degree Examination. To be eligible
for the award of the B.Sc. degree, a student must also meet a language requirement.
Language Requirement
Students on the BSc Degree Programme in Structural Engineering with Architecture shall be required to reach a defined
level of attainment in a third language, approved by the Faculty, in order to be eligible for the award of the BSc degree.
Students entering with a grade C3 at Higher Level in the Leaving Certificate examination of the Republic or Ireland, or its
equivalent, in an approved language will be deemed to meet the language requirement.
Re-taking Examinations
A student who does not pass the BSc Degree Examination at the first attempt may be re-examined in a later academic year.
A student who has obtained a mark of at least 45% of the available marks in any Subject will be exempt from further
examination in that Subject.
129
Honours Standards
In order to be eligible for the award of Honours, a student must have passed the BSc Degree Examination in the academic
year of his or her first registration for the final year of the degree programme. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by
the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, only for very serious reasons. Such exceptions will be reported to the
Academic Council of the University.

First Class Honours may be awarded to a student who has a total mark of at least 70% of the available marks, and
meets the special requirements below.

Second Class Honours Grade 1 may be awarded to a student who does not meet the requirements for First Class
Honours, but has a total mark of at least 60% of the available marks.

Second Class Honours Grade 2 may be awarded to a student who has a total mark of at least 50% but less than 60% of
the available marks.
Language Examinations
Examinations
Language examinations may take place at any time of the year, and may consist of any combination of written, aural and
oral examinations.
A student may take the language examination during any year of the degree programme. A student may re-take the
language examination as often as required, but must take all the parts of the examination in the same academic year.
Grades
Grades will be awarded as follows, depending on the marks obtained, expressed as a percentage of the total marks
available:
Percentage Mark
Grade
70% or more
A
60% or more, but less than 70%

MASTER OF ENGINEERING (Structural Engineering with Architecture) DEGREE PROGRAMMES.
Examination Regulations
Definitions
For the purposes of these regulations, the following terms are defined:
University Examination means the entire assessment of a student in a particular year of the degree programme.
Degree Examination means the University Examination in the final year of the degree programme.
Formal Examination means an examination, written or otherwise, conducted under traditional examination conditions.
This will normally take place during one of the examination periods defined by the University.
Coursework means any work other than a Formal Examination, such as practical work, presentations, project work,
assignments or tests. Coursework will normally be carried out and assessed during the academic terms of the University,
but the Examiners may decide that it should be carried out and assessed at other times.
Subject means a part of a University Examination in which the student is required to attain an acceptable standard in order
to pass the University Examination. A Subject can be identified by the presence of a mark in the column headed “Subject
Marks” in the tables of marks which follow.
The assessment of a student’s performance in a Subject may be based on one or more Formal Examinations, or on
Coursework, or on any combination of these. The number of Formal Examinations in a Subject is indicated in the column
headed “No. of Papers” in the tables of marks which follow. Where more than 10% of the marks in a Subject are based on
Coursework, this is indicated in the tables of marks which follow.
The main Formal Examination(s) in any Subject will be the first occasion in any academic year on which the Formal
Examination(s) may be taken. This may be in any of the examination periods defined by the University. Except in the
Degree Examination, a supplemental (or “repeat”) examination in any Subject may take place in the “Autumn”
examination period.
General
There are two programmes leading to the degree of Master of Engineering (Structural Engineering with Architecture):
Mode I and Mode II. Candidates must have the permission of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture to enter either
programme.
Progression and Time Limits
A student must pass the relevant University Examination in order to proceed to the following year of the degree
programme.
A student must pass the First University Examination within two years of entering the degree programme.
There is no time limit for passing the ME Degree Examination.
Exceptions to these rules may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, only for very serious reasons.
Such exceptions will be reported to the Academic Council of the University.
Optional Subjects and Optional Components
Where a student is required to choose a particular number of optional Subjects, no more than the required number of
optional Subjects will be taken into account in determining the result of the University Examination. If a student has marks
in more than the required number of optional Subjects, the optional Subject(s) with the lowest mark(s) will be ignored.
Where a student is required to choose a particular number of optional components within a Subject, no more than the
required number of optional components will be taken into account in determining the total mark for the Subject. If a
student has marks in more than the required number of optional components, the optional component(s) with the lowest
mark(s) will be ignored.
Re-taking Examinations – General Rules
Where a student is to be re-assessed in any Subject, either in Supplemental examinations or in the Main examinations of a
later academic year, the following general rules apply, along with the specific rules given later:

137
In a Subject with both Formal Examination(s) and Coursework, if a student’s performance in the Coursework was
satisfactory at the first attempt, the Coursework mark may be retained and used in calculating total Subject marks in
subsequent attempts. If the student’s performance in Coursework was not satisfactory, the Examiners may require the
student to re-attempt some or all component(s) of Coursework, or may hold a special examination or set a special
assignment in lieu of some or all component(s) of Coursework. Where this occurs, the resulting mark will replace the
original mark for the component(s) of Coursework in question.

In a Subject with a small component of Coursework (10% or less of Subject marks), the Examiners may decide to
ignore the Coursework, and derive the total Subject marks entirely from the Formal Examination(s) in the subsequent
attempts.

Where the regulations, Subjects, or syllabi have changed from the year of the first attempt, a student who is re-taking
examinations may choose to be assessed entirely under the old regulations, or entirely under the new regulations.
However, following a change in the syllabus of a Subject, or the deletion of a Subject, examination papers based on the
old syllabus will be provided for at most one year. In exceptional cases, where a student requires an examination
which is no longer available, the Examiners may decide on a substitute Subject or examination.
First University Examination
Pass Standard
In each Subject, a mark of at least 40% of the available marks is required in order to pass in that Subject. In some cases an
additional requirement may be imposed under the Inadequate Result rule (see below). Limited compensation between
Subjects is permitted (see below). A student must pass or compensate in each of the Subjects listed in the tables which
follow, in order to pass the University Examination.
Inadequate Result
In any Subject where the assessment consists entirely of Coursework, if a student fails to satisfy the Examiners in a
significant component of that Coursework, the Examiners may refuse to award a pass mark, or to permit compensation. In
such a case, the Examiners may declare an Inadequate Result (IR), and no mark will be awarded.
In any other Subject where the assessment consists of distinct components, such as more than one Formal Examination, or
a combination of Formal Examination(s) and Coursework, the Examiners may refuse to award a pass mark, or to permit
compensation, if a student’s mark in a significant component of the assessment is less than 20% of the available marks for
that component. In such a case, the Examiners may declare an Inadequate Result (IR), and no mark will be awarded.
However, this latter rule may not be used unless the distinct components of the assessment, and the marks assigned to each
component, are shown in the relevant table of marks below. Also, it may not be used to declare an Inadequate Result due
to poor performance in any component of a Subject which accounts for less than 25% of the total marks for the Subject.
Compensation
A student may be permitted to use surplus marks in some Subjects to compensate for small deficiencies in other Subjects.
The following rules apply:

Compensation is permitted in at most two Subjects.

Compensation is not permitted in any Subject where the mark is less than 30% of the available marks, nor where an
Inadequate Result has been declared by the Examiners.

Surplus marks are marks above 40% of the available marks in a Subject, except in Subjects where the assessment
consists entirely of Coursework, where only marks above 50% may be used as surplus.

Compensation is only permitted if the student has surplus marks totalling at least twice the total deficiency. Note that
this calculation is done using marks, not percentages.
Supplemental Examinations
A student who, after the Main examinations in any academic year, has not passed the University Examination, may be reassessed in the Supplemental examinations in the same academic year. The following rules apply:
A student who has obtained a pass mark in any Subject may retain that mark until the end of the academic year, and need
not take the supplemental examinations in that Subject in the same academic year.
Normally, only the Formal Examination(s) in a Subject will be offered in the Supplemental examinations. However, in
some circumstances, the Examiners may permit a student to re-attempt some component of Coursework, or may hold a
special examination or set a special assignment in lieu of that component of Coursework.
Compensation is permitted in the supplemental examinations, under the rules above. Subject marks retained from the main
examinations may be used for the purposes of calculating surplus marks for compensation in the supplemental
examinations.
A student who has obtained a pass mark in a Subject will not be re-assessed in that Subject in the supplemental
examinations. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, but only for very
serious reasons, and normally only where a student is to be re-assessed in all Subjects in the supplemental examinations.
138
Re-taking Examinations in a Later Year
A student who does not pass the University Examination within one academic year may take at least the Formal
Examinations in any Subject again. The following rules apply:

In any Subject where the assessment consists entirely of Coursework, a student who has obtained a pass mark may
retain that mark, and need not be assessed in that Subject again. Such a retained mark may be used for the purposes of
calculating surplus marks for compensation in a later academic year.

In any other Subject, a student who has obtained a mark of at least 50% of the available marks in the subject will be
exempt from further examination in that Subject. Subject marks obtained in a previous academic year may not be used
for the purposes of calculating surplus marks for compensation (except where the assessment in the Subject consists
entirely of coursework, as above).

Supplemental examinations may be used, under the same rules as for the year of the first attempt.
Honours Standards
In order to be eligible for the award of Honours, a student must have passed the University Examination after the Main
examinations in the academic year of his or her first registration for the relevant year of the degree programme. Exceptions
to this rule may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, but only for very serious reasons.

First Class Honours may be awarded to a student who has a total mark (the sum of all Subject marks) of at least 70%
of the available marks, and not more than one Subject mark below 40%.

Second Class Honours may be awarded to a student who does not meet the requirements for First Class Honours, but
has a total mark of at least 60% of the available marks, and not more than one Subject mark below 40%.
ME (Structural Engineering with Architecture) Degree Examination
General
In the Mode I programme, candidates must submit a thesis on the subject matter of their research and may be required to
attend for oral examination.
Pass Standard
In each Subject, a mark of at least 40% of the available marks is required in order to pass in that Subject. A student must
pass in each of the Subjects listed in the tables which follow, in order to pass the ME Degree Examination.
Re-taking Examinations
A student who does not pass the ME Degree Examination at the first attempt may be re-examined in a later academic year.
A student who has obtained a mark of at least 45% of the available marks in any Subject will be exempt from further
examination in that Subject.
Honours Standards
In order to be eligible for the award of Honours, a student must have passed the ME Degree Examination in the academic
year of his or her first registration for the final year of the degree programme. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by
the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, only for very serious reasons. Such exceptions will be reported to the
Academic Council of the University.

First Class Honours may be awarded to a student who has a total mark of at least 70% of the available marks, and
meets the special requirements below.

Second Class Honours Grade 1 may be awarded to a student who does not meet the requirements for First Class
Honours, but has a total mark of at least 60% of the available marks.

Second Class Honours Grade 2 may be awarded to a student who has a total mark of at least 50% but less than 60% of
the available marks.
