A student must obtain security clearance in order to take ACS402 Industrial Training Programme: Avionics. A student who elects to take this unit but is unable to obtain security clearance will be permitted to take a suitable replacement unit, suitability being determined at the discretion of the Director of Aerospace Engineering, or delegate.


8

A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2, 3 and 4 will be permitted an additional resit attempt in the compensated credits. An additional resit attempt can only be granted where the student has met the requirements for progression (or completion) under the General Regulations for First Degrees.

A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2, 3 and 4, where the grade achieved is more than 10% below the pass grade in those failed units, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.

A student who has been awarded more than 30 credits in compensation of failed units across Years 1, 2, 3 and 4, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.

A student who failed to pass one or more of the modules from the list below may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules: MAS156, MAS210.

Where a student has met the requirements for the award of a degree under the General Regulations for First Degrees but not the requirements for the award of a degree accredited under Engineering Council rules, they may be recommended for the award of BEng Aerospace Technology (AERU17).
