Assessment
3.1
Criteria for Progression and Degree Award.
In addition to satisfying the requirements set out in Regulation XX students must
gain 100 credits (40%) and achieve at least 30% in all compulsory modules in
order to progress from Parts A or B.
3.2
Relative Weighting of Parts of the Programme for the purposes of Final
Degree Classification
Candidates’ final degree classification will be determined on the basis of their
performance in degree level Module Assessments in Parts B and C, in
accordance with the scheme set out in Regulation XX. The overall average
percentage marks for each Part will be combined in the ratio Part B 40: Part C 60,
to determine the degree classification.
3.3
Re-assessment
Provision will be made in accordance with Regulation XX for candidates who
have the right of re-assessment in Parts A and B of the programme to undergo
re-assessment in the University’s special assessment period (SAP). Final year
candidates will normally be required to re-sit during the next academic year but
may be granted the option of re-assessment in SAP at the discretion of the
examiners. Where a candidate has achieved fewer than 60 credits in a part of
the programme, reassessment in the relevant part is not available to that
candidate in the special assessment period.
3.4.1 Limitations of IMechE Accreditation
IMechE accreditation will not be granted for BEng candidates who commenced
the programme before 2007 and are re-assessed in individual project module
MMC501.
