3B: First Degrees 29. Programmes of study and methods of assessment 29.1. The duration and structure of the following programmes is as defined in the relevant Programme Specification: Foundation Degree (Arts) Pastoral Mission Bachelor of Divinity BA Theology BA Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam BA Study of Religions BA Philosophy BA Philosophy, Religion and Ethics BA Philosophy and Theology BA Psychology and Theology BA Psychology and Philosophy BA Study of Religions 29.2. Subject to the agreement of the Programme Convenor, beginners’ language modules designated level 4 or 5, up to a maximum of three forming part of the whole programme of study, may be studied normally only in the first or second year of a programme. 29.3. Where a part-time mode is permitted, part-time students may undertake the same programme of study, normally completed in six years. 29.4. Each module is assessed as defined in the approved module outline, normally by a combination of coursework required to be completed during the term(s) in which the module is taught, by dates published to students, and an end-of-year assessment to be completed by a specified date in the summer term. Some end-of-year assessments are in the form of an examination. 30. The conduct of coursework assessment 30.1. Students must submit each required coursework assessment task by the published deadline, unless an extended deadline has been approved in writing. 30.2. Each assessment task will be awarded a mark out of 100. The percentage weight of each assessment task in determining the module mark is specified in each approved module, and published to students taking the module. 30.3. All coursework marks remain provisional until the meeting of the Examination Board. 30.4. If coursework is submitted after the due date without an extension authorised in writing, or after the end of the extension, the marker will deduct 2 marks for every day on which the work is late, up to 10 days. Work presented more than ten days late, without an authorised extension, will be marked as a reassessment for a maximum mark of 40% for the task. If the work is of a standard sufficient to pass (40% or above) and the deduction of marks yields a mark lower than 40%, a mark of 40% will be awarded. 24
30.5. Markers will deduct not less than 2 and not more than 10 marks from each coursework task which exceeds the maximum word length set by more than 10%. 31. End of Year Assessment 31.1. All end-of-year assessment takes place in the summer term. 31.2. Students may be required to complete an assessment entry form, to be submitted to the Academic Registrar or nominee by a specified date in the Lent Term. 31.3. Dissertations must be submitted to the College in the approved form not later than the Monday of the third week of the Summer Term in the final year of study. 31.4 Dissertations should be between 8,000-10,000 words in length. 31.5. Markers will deduct not less than 2 and not more than 10 marks from each dissertation which exceeds the maximum word length set by more than 10%. 31.6 The nature and length of Psychology end of year assessments will be specified in the programme specification. 32. Provisions for students who fail modules 32.1. The pass mark for each module is 40%. 32.2. A candidate who achieves a module mark below the pass mark will be required to repeat the assessment task(s) which caused failure in the module. 32.3. Unless the Board of Examiners has determined that the candidate’s failure in an assessment task (whether through non-submission or after making an attempt) was the consequence of mitigating circumstances which the student could not have foreseen or prevented, the maximum mark awarded for a second or subsequent attempt at an assessment task will be 40%. 32.4. A candidate who has achieved a pass mark in the module as a whole will not be permitted a second attempt at an assessment task in order to achieve a higher module mark. 32.5. If a candidate has failed the module by not making a reasonable attempt at a required assessment task which does not contribute to the module mark, he or she will be required to make a reasonable attempt at that task in order to pass the module. 32.6. Candidates required to repeat a failed assessment task must submit the required coursework or essay by 1st September, or take the repeat examination at the time specified by the College. 32.7. Except when the Board of Examiners has permitted a candidate to be reassessed as though for the first time on grounds of mitigating circumstances, a candidate will not normally be permitted more than two attempts (i.e. a first attempt and one reassessment) at an assessment task. 33. Progression to the next year 33.1. Candidates must have passed at least three whole modules (or the equivalent in whole and half modules) before proceeding to the second year of the programme and at least seven modules (or the equivalent in whole and half modules) before proceeding to the third year. 25
