Progression/award requirements

The assessment of the taught component of a doctoral degree is governed by the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes and is assessed separately from the research project. Progression to the research project may be dependent on the successful completion of the taught component - please refer to the relevant handbook for the structure of the particular programme.

The pass mark set by the University for any level 7(M) unit is 50 out of 100.

Exit awards

It may be possible to exit the programme with a taught award. For detailed rules please see the Regulations and Code of Practice for Research Programmes and the relevant faculty handbook.

Additional progress information

Taught courses will be given by all members of the consortium.

The Degree awarding University will be the one which supervises the EngD Research Project.
