Examination Conventions for Modular Taught Postgraduate Degrees 2012-13

2.1 In particular cases, in line with Regulations, individual candidates may be admitted initially at postgraduate Certificate or Diploma level, with a view to upgrading to Masters level studies in due course. Certain Faculties have agreed additional guidance relating to such admissions, which is set out in the Appendix.

2.2 The Student Services Department will notify academic departments each year of the dates by which recommendations for upgrades to Masters level studies should be submitted.

2.3 The General Regulations specify the minimum time which must be spent studying for a degree and during which fees are payable. On payment of a continuation fee, an extension to the normal period of study may be agreed for an individual candidate, in order to allow additional time for submission of the dissertation. Overall time-limits for completion are also set out in the Regulations.
