UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING EXAMINATIONS
1.
Methods of Assessment
Subjects may be assessed by written, oral or practical examination, continuous assessment or projects or a combination of
these. The examiners in each subject will decide on the breakdown of marks between the different methods of assessment and
will provide this information to the students at the beginning of the semester in which the subject is taught.
2.
Timing of Examinations
Written examinations in First Year Engineering subjects may be held at the end of Semester I, or at the end of Semester II.
Supplementary/repeat examinations are held in the Autumn.
Written examinations in Second Year Engineering subjects will be held at the end of Semester I and at the end of Semester II.
Supplementary/repeat examinations are held in the Autumn.
Written examinations in Third Year Engineering subjects will be held at the end of Semester I and in Spring. Semester II
examinations will be brought forward to Spring to accommodate the Professional Experience Programme (P.E.P.) and are so
indicated in the Calendar. Supplementary/repeat examinations are held in the Autumn subject to the constraints in 6 below.
Written examinations in Fourth Year Engineering (B.E. Degree) subjects will normally be held at the end of Semester I and
Semester II. There are normally no supplementary / repeat examinations in Fourth year (see 6 below).
3.
Return of Marks to the Examinations Office
Marks should be returned to the Examinations Office as a percentage.
4.
Provisional Results
Provisional results of Semester I examinations will be communicated by departments to students by means of the following
grades:
Percentage
70 - 100
60 - 69
50 - 59
40 - 49
35 - 39

5.
Professional Experience Programme (P.E.P.)
All Third year Engineering students are required to complete the Professional Experience Programme (P.E.P.) element of the
course, or an equivalent exercise as specified by the head of the department concerned. Except in exceptional circumstances
approved by the College, the P.E.P. or equivalent exercise must be undertaken in the period between the end of the Third Year
Examinations and the beginning of the Fourth Year (B.E. Degree Year). In the absence of such approval by the College,
students who fail to participate in the P.E.P. or an approved equivalent exercise during this timeframe will not be permitted to
progress to the Fourth Year (B.E. Degree Year) of the programme.
Students are obliged to comply with all arrangements put in place by the College of Engineering and Informatics and the
University Placement Office for the allocation of placements.
Performance on the P.E.P. or approved equivalent exercise will be graded as "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory". Students will
not be awarded the B.E. Degree until P.E.P. or an equivalent exercise has been graded as "satisfactory". In the case of
programmes in which P.E.P. is more formally assessed, a "satisfactory" grade requires a score of 40%.
Students who undertake the P.E.P. but fail to achieve a "satisfactory" result may, at the discretion of the College, progress to
the Fourth Year (B.E. Degree Year) but will be required to repeat the P.E.P. at the end of Fourth Year and to achieve a result of
“satisfactory” therein.
6.
Eligibility to Undertake Supplementary/Repeat Examinations
Supplementary / repeat examinations in subjects of the Third Engineering Examination will be held in the Autumn. Students
may participate in these examinations subject to the following condition:
Third Year Engineering students who pass in at least 80% of the Third Year programme i.e. in material accounting
for 800 marks out of 1,000 marks (or 48 ECTS out of 60 ECTS credits) should normally, on the recommendation of
the Board of Examiners, be allowed to repeat Engineering examinations in the Autumn.
36
Supplementary / repeat examinations in Fourth Year subjects are not normally held in the Autumn, but may be allowed in
exceptional circumstances when a deferral or resit is granted by the College such as in cases of bereavement, hospitalisation
and medically certified illness.
Students at the Summer examinations who are deficient in their attendance at academic exercises, or in the submission of
Year's Work may, on the recommendation of the Board of Examiners, be excluded from admission to the relevant Autumn
examination.
It will not be possible to repeat Year’s Work / continuously assessed material over the Summer period. Allowances may be
made but only in exceptional circumstances.
A First, Second or Third year student who fails one or more subjects of a group in either Semester I or II and is granted a
deferral in one or more other subjects of that same group will be required to sit the supplementary / repeat examination(s) in
the failed subject(s) along with the examinations in the deferred subjects in the Autumn.
7.
Pass Standard
Candidates for the B.E. Degree are required to pass the First, Second and Third Engineering examinations and the Degree
examination. The First Examination must be completed within two years of entry upon the course.
The Second Engineering Examination must be completed within two years of passing the First Examination and the Third
Examination must be completed within two years of passing the Second Examination. The B.E. Degree Examination must,
save in exceptional circumstances, be completed within three years of passing the Third University Examination in
Engineering.

Carrying Forward Marks
Examinations in Engineering must each be passed as a whole. However, in the case of a student who obtains at any
examination sitting, a mark of 40% or more of the marks in one or more subjects, or groups of subjects, but has failed the
overall exam, the Board may decide to allow students to hold these marks in perpetuity.
In the case where a candidate fails a module, but has obtained a passing mark in elements or individual examinations of the
module, the board may decide to carry forward these marks to all succeeding examinations within the following time limit: two
years from the date of entering the year of the programme.
9.
Honours Standard
The Bachelor of Engineering is an Honours Degree at the University.
First Class Honours is 70%, Second Class Honours, Grade I, 60%; Second Class Honours Grade II, 50%.
In a given year, Honours will be awarded on the aggregate of marks achieved in that year. However, for the purpose of
determining the award of Honours in the Fourth Year (B.E. Degree Year) examination, the Board may take into account a
student's performance in the Third Year examination. A student's gross percentage mark for this purpose will be computed by
adding together 30% of the percentage marks he/she obtained in the Third Year Examination and 70% of the percentage marks
he/she obtained in the Fourth Year (B.E. Degree Year) examination.
Pass and Honours may be awarded at the Summer Examination Board Meeting. Aside from when a deferral is granted,
Honours may not be awarded to candidates who are sitting the examination for the second or subsequent time.
Candidates who transfer into any year of the B.E. degree programme and are granted exemptions based on prior learning will
not be eligible for Honours in that year.

UNDERGRADUATE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY EXAMINATIONS
1.
Methods of Assessment
Subjects may be assessed by written, oral or practical examination, continuous assessment or projects or a
combination of these. The examiners in each subject will decide on the breakdown of marks between the
different methods of assessment and will provide this information to the students at the beginning of the
semester in which the subject is taught.
2.
Timing of Examinations
Written examinations in First Year Information Technology subjects may be held at the end of Semester I, or
at the end of Semester II. Supplementary/repeat examinations are held in the Autumn.
Written examinations in Second Year Information Technology subjects will be held at the end of Semester I
and at the end of Semester II. Supplementary/repeat examinations are held in the Autumn.
Written examinations in Third Year Information Technology subjects will be held at the end of Semester I
and in Spring. Semester II examinations will be brought forward to Spring to accommodate the Professional
Experience Programme (P.E.P.) and are so indicated in the Calendar. Supplementary/repeat examinations are
held in the Autumn subject to the constraints in 11 below.
Written examinations in Fourth Year Information Technology subjects will normally be held at the end of
Semester I, Semester II and Autumn (except for Final Year Project – see 9 below).
3.
Pass Standard
The Pass Standard will be 40% across all subjects in a group. Students will be required to achieve the 40%
standard in each group. Students must reach a minimum of 20% in each subject in a group, except in
exceptional circumstances as agreed by the Information Technology Board of Examiners.
4.
Honours Standard
The B.Sc. (Information Technology) is an Honours Degree at the University.
In all years: First Class Honours is 70%; Second Class Honours, Grade I, 60%; Second Class Honours, Grade
II, 50%.
In a given year, Honours will be awarded on the aggregate marks achieved in that year.
Pass and Honours may be awarded at the Summer Examination Board Meeting. Aside from when a deferral is
granted, Honours may not be awarded to candidates who are sitting the examination for the second or
subsequent time.
Candidates who transfer into any year of the B.Sc. (Information Technology) programme and are granted
exemptions based on prior learning will not be eligible for Honours in that year.
5.
The First, Second, Third and Fourth University Examinations in Information Technology must be passed as a
whole. However, in the case where a candidate fails in the examination as a whole, but has obtained a mark of
40% or more in one or more subjects, the Board may decide to carry forward these marks to ALL succeeding
examinations within the following time-limit: in the case of the First Information Technology Examination,
within two years of entering the course; in the case of the Second University Examination within two years of
passing the First Information Technology Examination; in the case of the Third University Examination
within two years of passing the Second Information Technology Examination and in the case of the Fourth
University Examination within two years of passing the Third Information Technology Examination.
6.
In all examinations a proportion of the marks, up to a maximum of 30%, may be awarded for (any
combination of) course work - orals, practicals, projects.
7.
In CT103 (Programming), up to a maximum of 60% may be awarded for (any combination of) assignments,
laboratory exams, and projects.
50
8.
Students are not permitted, except in exceptional circumstances, to change their option (i.e. European
Language / Business / Next Generation Technologies) after semester one of their first year.
9.
There is no facility to repeat the Final Year Project (or any component of it) in the Autumn Examinations.
Students who fail the Final Year Project may repeat the subject during the following academic year.
10.
All students are required to complete the Professional Experience Programme (PEP) element of the course, or
an equivalent exercise as specified by the Head of the Department of Information Technology, in the period
between the end of the Third Year Examinations and the beginning of the B.Sc.(IT) Degree Academic Year.
Students will not be awarded the B.Sc.(IT) Degree until the Professional Experience Programme or
equivalent exercise requirement has been fulfilled, as prescribed in the regulations for the B.Sc.(IT) Degree
programme in the College Calendar.
11.
Regarding the eligibility of third year students to repeat summer examinations during their Professional
Experience Programme, only those who pass in at least 70% of the subjects (i.e. subjects accounting for 42
ECTS out of 60) and those not failing more than three subjects should normally be allowed to repeat
Information Technology examinations in the Autumn.
12.

Provisional results of Semester I examinations will be communicated by the IT Department to students by
means of the following grades:

Compensation may only be used to enable a candidate to pass the examination as a whole. Compensation may
be allowed in a combination of modules up to a total weighting of 12 ECTS. Candidates who do not fall
below 30 per cent in any subject or below 40 per cent in subjects whose combined ECTS weighting is not
greater than 12, may be passed at the discretion of the Board, if they obtain in other subjects excess marks
above the pass standard equal to double the deficiency. Marks carried forward from Winter or Summer to
Autumn at the first sitting of the examination may count for compensation, but marks carried forward to
subsequent years do not, except in exceptional circumstances, count for this purpose.
Exemptions:
The University Examinations must be passed as a whole, provided that the candidate who obtains 40 per cent
of the marks in any subject may be exempted on the recommendation of the Examiners from further
examination in these subjects.
In all examinations a proportion of the marks, up to a maximum of 40 per cent, may be awarded for (any
combination of) course work – orals, practicals and projects.

The University Examinations will be held in Winter, Summer and Autumn. Except in exceptional
circumstances, Honours will not be awarded to candidates who have repeated the examination in one or more
subjects.
Graduate students of NUI Galway are not allowed to select any option they have already taken as part of a
previous qualification.
Honours will be awarded on the aggregate of marks for the whole examination. Candidates who pass by
compensation are not eligible for Honours.
Compensation:
Compensation may only be used to enable a candidate to pass the examination as a whole. Compensation
may be allowed in a combination of modules up to a total weighting of 12 ECTS. Candidates who do not fall
below 30 per cent in subjects whose combined ECTS weighting is not greater than 12, may be passed, at the
discretion of the Board, if they obtain in the other subjects excess marks above the pass standard equal to
double the deficiency. Marks carried forward from Winter or Summer to Autumn at the first sitting of the
examination may count for compensation, but marks carried forward to subsequent years do not, except in
exceptional circumstances, count for this purpose.
Exemptions:
The University Examinations must be passed as a whole, provided, however that the candidate who obtains
40 per cent of the marks in any subject may be exempted on the recommendation of the Examiners from
further examination in these subjects.
