Assessment Regulations
Page 139
Assessment schemes are designed to enable students to demonstrate the extent to which they have met the objectives (the ‘Learning Outcomes’) and standards for a Module, Programme Stage, Programme and Award. A range of assessment methods will be used that are appropriate to the Programme and all types of assessment are considered equally valuable. The weighting of each component of assessment will be appropriate to reflect its content and contribution to the module’s Learning Outcomes. The volume of assessment for each Programme will not exceed the amount required to demonstrate the achievement of Learning Outcomes.

Progression and Award
4.1
Requirements to pass a Module
To progress through a Programme, students are required to complete and pass modules in order to accumulate an amount of academic credit to the value of the Award they are registered for. The progression criteria are detailed in the Programme Specification. The amount and level of credit for each Module is clearly set out in the Module Specifications. A Module may include a number of assessment components (or tasks) and requirements that must be completed in order to pass that Module. Some assessment components and/or Modules may be designated as pass/fail, as detailed in individual Module Specifications. Credit is awarded by the Assessment Board where all the Learning Outcomes, and any other requirements of a Module, are met and that Module is deemed to be passed. The mark for a specific Module is calculated as a weighted average of the marks for the individual components. The weightings assigned to each component are set out in the Module Specification. Components assessed on a pass/fail basis do not contribute to the calculation of the Module mark. 4.2
Module Pass marks
To successfully pass a Module a student must achieve the Module pass mark(s) of at least 40%. Any other requirements stated in the Module specification must also be met. 4.2.1
