The University Academic Board approves the Assessment Regulations for Taught and Research awards. The Assessment Regulations undergo a regular editorial process to ensure they are consistent and accurate.
Following review of the Foundation Degree, Undergraduate Degree, Integrated Masters Degree and Taught Postgraduate (Masters) Degree Assessment Regulations, a small number of changes to the Assessment Regulations were made and these were introduced from 2022/23 on an incremental basis for new students joining the University on these awards from the 2022/23 Academic Year.
Following on from this review, the University undertook a review of the regulations for Higher National (HNC/HND) and Professional Doctorate awards and this led to a small number of changes which were introduced for all students on those awards from the 2023/24 Academic Year.
NOTE: Students undertaking Awards by Research can find the relevant regulations under the Research Regulations
Note: Students who interrupt their course will re-join their course on the Assessment Regulations in place at that time for the cohort they join. Students who are restudying a module or award undertake that restudy under the Assessment Regulations in place at that time for that level for that academic year.
