Regulations

The Chief Examiners’ Meeting has specific responsibility for determining an appropriate degree classification for each candidate, based on the weightings of grades allocated to the Seminar A, Research Methods, two elective units (12.5% each) and the research project (50%). A candidate must satisfactorily complete the research project in order to graduate. Normally, a candidate who fails to satisfy the examiners will not be permitted to repeat the course or to write supplementary examinations.
