Overview of modules by stage
2
Notes:
3
[1] The credit level is an indication of the module’s relative intellectual demand, complexity and depth of learning and of learner autonomy (Level 4/Certificate, Level 5/Intermediate, Level 6/Honours, Level 7/Masters).
4
[2] The credit value gives the notional workload for the module, where 1 credit corresponds to a notional workload of 10 hours (including contact hours, private study and assessment).
5
[3] Special assessment rules (requiring University Teaching Committee approval); P/F – the module marked on a pass/ fail basis (NB pass/ fail modules cannot be compensated); NC – the module cannot be compensated; NR – there is no reassessment opportunity for this module. It must be passed at the first attempt.
6
[4] Independent Study Modules (ISMs) are assessed by a dissertation or substantial project report. They cannot be compensated (NC) and are subject to reassessment rules which differ from ‘taught modules’. Integrated Masters programmes may designate a project in the final stage as an ISM which is then subject to the assessment rules as set out in the postgraduate programmes section of the Guide to Assessment.
