SUPPLEMENTARY CRITERIA FOR PROGRESSION FROM THE FIRST TO THE SECOND YEAR OF MSC MANAGEMENT
To be eligible to proceed into the second year, candidates must attain at least a Pass grade in the six compulsory courses (MG431, MG434, MG458, MG459, MG461 and MG462). If a student fails one compulsory course up to the value of 0.5 units, they will not be permitted to progress unless the fail can be compensated by a mark of Merit standard in another of the compulsory courses to the same value. If a student fails more than one of these compulsory courses they will not be allowed to progress to year two. If students fail any of their optional courses taken in year one, they will be allowed to progress to year two provided they have no Bad Fail marks. A student shall normally be entitled to re-sit any failed courses only (on one occasion) and at the next normal opportunity. The Repeat Teaching Panel may consider an application for repeat tuition in any failed courses from a student. Results obtained following a repeated attempt at assessment shall bear their normal value.
