The Examiners may in their discretion recommend the award of a mark of distinction or merit to a student registered for a Master’s degree, such that:

(a)    a student who obtains a weighted mean grade of not less than 69.5 in respect of units listed at 1A and 1B and a grade of not less than 70 in respect of units listed at 1C may be recommended for the award of the Degree with distinction; and

(b)   a student who obtains a weighted mean grade of not less than 59.5 in respect of units listed at 1A and 1B and a grade of not less than 60 in respect of units listed at 1C may be recommended for the award of the Degree with merit.


4

The Examiners may in their discretion recommend that a student who is awarded not fewer than 165 credits be deemed to have passed the Examination for a Master’s Degree, providing that the student has obtained an average grade of not less than 50 and a grade or grades of not less than 40 in the elements of the programme of study in respect of which credits are not awarded, this calculation to include all units.


5

The Examiners may in their discretion recommend that a student who is awarded not fewer than 105 credits in respect of units listed at 1A, 1B and 1C, be deemed to have passed the Examination for a Postgraduate Diploma in Structural Engineering (CIVT71), providing that the student has obtained an average grade of not less than 50 and a grade or grades of not less than 40 in the elements of the programme of study in respect of which credits are not awarded. In the case of a student for a Master’s degree who is being considered for the award of a Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate, calculation of the average grade will exclude the dissertation grade.


6

A student who has been awarded sixty credits in respect of units listed at 1A and 1B above will be eligible for the award of the Postgraduate Certificate in Structural Engineering (CIVT74).
