If marks for fewer than credits are recorded in any one year, the computer will make calculations by inserting marks of zero as appropriate. A mean mark in the middle of the range will immediately be awarded the appropriate class of degree e. If your mean is just below a borderline, your case is examined in detail. This includes the number of modules that have a higher class mark and how many of these modules are at level 6.
If you have had unspent extenuating circumstances that is extenuating circumstances for which you were not offered a first sit or re-take — see section 4.
Please note that the presence of extenuating circumstances does not automatically mean that you will be awarded a higher class of degree.
External Examiners attend the classification meeting and their judgement on the borderline cases, which are fully discussed, is considered very important. If your interests change in the course of your studies, you should change programme to reflect this. You should discuss the possibility with your Adviser as soon as possible. If you have taken modules outside of the subject named in your degree programme these modules will be listed on your transcript but will not be named in your degree title unless you actively change your degree programme by submitting a change of programme form.
Each credit equates approximately to 10 hours of work including all contact hours such as lectures or classes, as well as further reading and any assessments for the average student. How many credits is my course worth? Normally, each Part of an undergraduate programme has a total of credits and each programme has credits in total for a three-year degree or for a four-year degree.
Taught postgraduate programmes normally have a total of credits. At the end of the programme, you will receive a document called a Diploma Supplement, which will provide details of your degree programme, including a transcript of the modules taken and your marks.
Modules are placed at particular Levels, which in general correspond to the Parts of your programme. A student must have achieved credits passed all required modules prior to the academic year of their study abroad period. Students who study abroad will be awarded block credit for the successful completion of the study abroad period. Individual grades will no longer be translated or included in the calculation of the final degree classification.
A student following a programme of study which does not lead to a qualification a credit-only programme may be provided with an award of completion, in addition to a transcript of credits achieved. A student who has accumulated sufficient credits for the qualification, and meets the regulatory requirements will be awarded the qualification subject to no outstanding tuition fee debt. With the exception of the unnamed Ordinary Degree, the Certificate in Higher Education and the Diploma in Higher Education, qualifications can be awarded with named subject s.
Degree programme tables define the curricula and conditions to be met in order to be eligible for an award in named subject s , subject to satisfying all regulatory requirements. A student must meet all requirements i. The award of Graduate Certificate is only available to students admitted to a programme of study with that designation. For the award of Graduate Certificate with Distinction, a minimum of 40 credits must be achieved with a mark of 70 or higher, and a further 20 credits must be achieved with a mark of 50 or higher.
For the award of Graduate Certificate with Merit, a minimum of 40 credits must be achieved with a mark of 60 or higher, and a further 20 credits must be achieved with a mark of 50 or higher.
Where the student is not registered on a Certificate with named subject s , the award designation will be 'in Higher Education'. For the award of a Certificate with distinction, a mark of at least 70 must be achieved for 40 credits, and a mark of at least 50 in a further 80 credits.
For the award of a Certificate with merit, a mark of least 60 must be achieved in 40 credits, and a mark of at least 50 in a further 80 credits. The award of a Graduate Diploma is only available to students admitted to a programme of study with that designation.
For the award of Graduate Diploma with Distinction, a minimum of 80 credits must be achieved with a mark of 70 or higher, and a further 40 credits must be achieved with a mark of 50 or higher. For the award of Graduate Diploma with Merit, a minimum of 80 credits must be achieved with a mark of 60 or higher, and a further 40 credits must be achieved with a mark of 50 or higher. Where a student is not registered on a Diploma with named subject s , the award designation will be 'in Higher Education'.
For the award of a Diploma with Distinction, a mark of at least 70 must have been achieved for 80 credits, and a mark of at least 50 in a further credits. At least 20 credits must be achieved as SCQF level 9 or above. For the award of a Diploma with Merit, a mark of at least 60 must have been achieved for 80 credits, and a mark of at least 50 in a further credits.
For the award of an Ordinary degree, a minimum of credits must be achieved, with a minimum of 60 credits at SCQF level 9 or above and, in addition, a minimum of 90 credits at SCQF level 8 or above. For the award of an Ordinary degree in named subject s , a student must meet the requirements as set out in the equivalent Degree Programme Table of the honours programme 3 years for full-time, equivalence for part-time. Where unnamed, the ordinary degree of 'Bachelor of Arts' will be awarded where the primary subject is arts, the ordinary degree of 'Bachelor of Science' where the primary subject is science.
For the award of an Ordinary degree with distinction, a mark of at least 70 must be achieved in credits of which at least 60 credits must be at SCQF level 9 or above , and a mark of at least 50 achieved in a further credits.
For the award of an Ordinary degree with merit, a mark of at least 60 must be achieved in credits of which at least 60 credits must be at SCQF level 9 or above , and a mark of at least 50 achieved in a further credits.
For the award of an Honours degree, a minimum of credits must be achieved, with a minimum of at SCQF levels 9 and 10, including a minimum of 90 credits at SQCF level 10 as defined by the Degree Programme Table. The modules specified in year 3 and 4 of the Degree Programme Table or equivalence for part-time count towards the classification.
The dissertation or equivalent must be included in the classification calculation. For classifying credits, the predominance threshold is credits; for credits, predominance is credits; for credits predominance is 60 credits. The lowest marked 20 credits will be discounted including modules with a failing mark. Classification must be based on the remaining credits with attributed marks. Where the total number of credits with attributed marks is equal to or less than , e.
If a student has more than credits in years 3 and 4 only the best credits will be considered in the calculation. For those students completing programmes in and , the classifications will be calculated using both the previously advised calculation see below and the new, revised calculation.
The best credit achieved for the modules specified in year 3 and 4 of the Degree Programme Table or equivalence for part-time count towards the classification. Core modules and a dissertation or equivalent mark are always included. In addition to the degree classification being derived by calculating the average of the best credits, the calculation would also include a requirement to have at least credits in that particular degree class or a higher class to be automatically awarded the classification.
Where the average falls in a particular degree class but a student does not have at least credits in that category or above this will be considered as a discussable case. The degree classification is derived by calculating the mean of marks for individual modules, weighted by the number of credit points for each module.
Where the mean mark is up to 2 marks below the classification boundary, this is discussable by the Board of Examiners which has discretion to award a higher classification. A mean mark of 70 or greater when rounded to the nearest whole number ie a mean mark of A mean mark of between 60 and 69 when rounded to the nearest whole number ie a mean mark of A mean mark of between 50 and 59 when rounded to the nearest whole number ie a mean mark of A mean mark of between 40 and 49 when rounded to the nearest whole number ie a mean mark of A board of examiners may recommend to Academic Council that an aegrotat or posthumous award be conferred in respect to an undergraduate or postgraduate taught programme.
Aegrotat awards may be considered where no degree award may be made within the regulations, and the student is close to completing the award but is prevented from doing so because of illness. A posthumous award can be considered where a student has died and has either; completed the programme of study, including the required assessments, and has satisfied the requirements of the award; or has not completed the programme of study but the board of examiners is satisfied that the student would have been able to complete or satisfy the requirements for the award.
Study Duration. A student must complete the programme within 5 years of programme commencement inclusive of periods of leave of absence. Progression during the Academic Year. A student must pass each module in order to progress to the next module. Progression to the Next Academic Year. A student must satisfy the competency requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Council in order to progress to the next year of study. Where an element of assessment is marked 29 or below, the module cannot be passed as achievement of the learning outcomes is considered not to have been demonstrated.
All assessments must attain a mark of 30 or greater in order to be included in the calculation of the final module mark. Where a student is registered on a 3 rd assessment attempt, this will be by assessment only and need not be taken at the next scheduled offering. Recognition of Prior Learning. A minimum of 60 credits must be obtained through study at the University of Stirling; recognition of prior learning of up to credits can be awarded.
Ordinary Degree with Distinction. A mark of at least 70 must be achieved in the 60 credits studied at University of Stirling. Ordinary Degree with Merit. A mark of at least 60 must be achieved in the 60 credits studied at University of Stirling.
