Minimum Marks for
Components of Assessment
All elements must be submitted. Providing the student
achieves an overall result for a module of 40% or above
(regardless of individual element scores) they will pass.

This obviously means that it is important to ensure that


you make a good attempt at every module. You will not be
able to omit an assessment or do very little towards an
assessment in the hope that your aggregate mark will give
you a pass in the module.
