Examination Conventions for Modular Taught Postgraduate Degrees 2012-13

A student admitted initially to a PG Diploma may be upgraded to MA status if the course tutors recommend such upgrading on the basis of work submitted for the first units, at a point when 60 credits have been obtained, normally at a level not less than grade 58. A student who obtains a level of not less than grade 55 in the first 60 credits may subsequently be upgraded on the basis of an improved performance in later units.
