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.
