Guidelines for interpreting programme regulations
This information is for all students in the 2017/18 session.
For the MRes component of this programme (Years 1 and 2), students must take courses to the value of eight units over two years, as shown below. Please refer to the Classification scheme which should be read in conjunction with these programme regulations. During the MRes, students are covered by the Regulations for taught master's degrees for students entering in or after the 2009/10 academic year. Continuation on to the PhD is dependent on meeting the progression requirements as stated below.
For the PhD component of this programme, in addition to progressing with their research, students are expected to take seminars and workshops as shown below. When students progress on to the PhD part of the programme (Years 3-6) the academic regulations that apply to them change from the regulations for taught master's to the Regulations for research degrees.
Students on the MRes or PhD programme must comply with the General Academic Regulations.

* Students may also take appropriate MSc or PhD level courses from within the Department of Management or from another department as agreed with their supervisor and programme director and subject to timetabling constraints. |
Progression to Year 2 of the MRes in Management (Marketing)
Students must achieve marks of 60% in each first year core course in order to progress to year two of the programme. Students who do not achieve this standard may progress to the second year having failed (but not a Bad Fail) or received a mark between 50-59, in a maximum of one unit of courses only as long as they obtain the permission of the MRes Programme Director.
Where the student receives a fail mark (but not a Bad Fail mark) or a mark between 50-59 in a half unit or one unit in total they will be required to resit this work at the end of the programme in order to progress on to the PhD unless they achieve the compensation conditions set out at 3.2.3 of the Classification scheme.
Where a student has been awarded an MRes according to the classification scheme above but is required to resit an element of assessment in order to meet the PhD progression requirements the resit mark will not supersede the original attempt or result in an adjustment to the award.
A student who passes all courses but fails to achieve the required standard in more than one core course unit cannot progress and fails the degree without the opportunity to resit. A student who receives fail marks (including Bad Fails) in more than one unit cannot progress to year two until those fails have been resat and they then meet the progression requirements as set out above.
A student may only resit an assessment on one occasion only.
Award of the MRes in Management (Marketing)
The award and classification of the MRes degree is consistent with the School's scheme for the award of an MRes in Management for students entering in or after 2015/16.
Progression from the MRes in Management (Marketing) to the PhD
The award and classification of the MRes shall be based on the classification scheme set out above. In order to progress on to the PhD registration students are required to achieve marks of 60% in all 8 course unit marks by the end of the programme.
1.5 or 2.0 failed units (but not Bad Fails) or passed unit with marks in the range of 50-59 can be compensated by achieving marks of at least 70% in courses of an equivalent value. Or, by achieving an aggregate mark of 360 in the non-failed courses.
Students who fail to achieve marks of 60% or above and are unable to compensate these marks must resit these courses at the next available opportunity on one occasion only. Results obtained following a repeated attempt at assessment will not supersede the original attempt or result in an adjustment to the classification where an award has already been made.
Students who progress to PhD registration can resit up to one unit only in order to attempt to satisfy the progression requirements. They need to achieve a pass mark of 60 or above in this work to continue their PhD registration. Students failing to meet this standard will have their PhD registration discontinued.
A student may only resit an assessment on one occasion only.
