36.1 The mark for each individual taught unit is calculated as the weighted average of the marks for each of its constituent assessments (see 15.13), rounded to the nearest integer.
36.2 The research unit mark is calculated by averaging the constituent assessment marks, where applicable, and rounding the result to the nearest integer.
36.3 The final programme mark is calculated by averaging the unit marks (taught and research), and rounding the result to the nearest integer.
36.4 Units that solely contain assessments marked on a pass/fail marking scheme will not contribute towards the calculation of the final programme mark, but are deemed to be ‘must-pass’ for the purposes of completion. In such cases, the weighting of other units will increase accordingly.
36.5 The weighting given to the unit mark will correspond to the credit point value of the unit, e.g. the mark for a 20-credit point unit would be 1/9 of the final programme mark, if the student must achieve 180 credit points.
See guidance for an example of this calculation.
