There are exceptions to this rule e. Research in Management is a seeded course for 3rd year students on Economics and Accounting, but is only required if you write a Management Dissertation. Students make the decision about which dissertation to write long after the deadline for cancelling a course has passed but Registry can remove this course without it showing on their record. A normal academic year is credits a one semester course is normally 20 credits and a full year course 40 credits.
The minimum number of credits for progression is:. There are two things to be aware of here - although the rules say you could progress into third year with only credits, the requirement to be admitted to Honours in Economics is that you pass all your courses so you could be refused entry if you only have credit points.
Even if you have mitigating circumstances and are allowed to progress into Junior Honours with only credits you CANNOT go into Senior Honours unless you have credits, no matter how strong your mitigating circumstances are.
We have seen this happen - be warned! The required courses for each year of your degree programme will be added to your record when the academic year rolls over this is called seeding. This is an automatic process and does not mean that you have progressed into the next year if your academic record indicates otherwise.
Normally students are allowed one retake of failed modules. Resits do differ significantly from regular term-time exams in some ways. Remember to revise actively rather than passively. Why not give yourself the confidence boost you need by making sure that you are as prepared as you can be?

You earn credits by passing modules. Undergraduate courses For an undergraduate course you must be registered on modules worth credits per stage in other words, per academic year if studying full-time. Postgraduate courses For a Masters course you must be registered on modules worth credits.
PGCE courses have a higher credit requirement. Different stages are worth different percentages to your overall classification. The total is called a grand mean. This table shows our undergraduate classifications and what it takes to get a First.
Borderline criteria There are some cases where you might get a higher class of degree. Take this time to shine. Being independent during your Honours is a tricky balance. On the one hand, you will need to be an independent thinker and problem-solver — this is the big leagues after all. But on the other, it is important to have a good working relationship with your supervisor s. In my case, I would pre-plan the number of times I would attempt something or the amount of time I would allocate to trying to solve a problem relative to the size of work.
I found that when I presented something to my supervisor, or was frustrated at something not working, they were more willing to help because I had attempted it myself first to the best of my abilities.
Friends at uni are so important for the overall experience, but especially so in Honours. The cohorts are much smaller and so you get to know your peers on a personal level. This is beneficial for many reasons.
Study groups or even lunch-break groups ensure that you still have social connections and help with independent problem solving. These friends are also able to check up on you when you go MIA into a thesis-writing vortex.
Basically, they get it. You will develop a caffeine addiction and become anaemic. Okay, this one might be just me, but it is a cautionary tale. I know that the 6 th cup of coffee and the 2-minute noodles or mi goreng might seem like the best option for a meal at the end of what seems like a hour day, but trust me, there are consequences.
I called these days personal admin days, usually a Sunday. Cook something nutritional, such as easily freezable meals my personal favourites are soups — anything with beans and curries. You are not productive when you are sick and tired. Similar with caffeine. If you are staring down the barrel of your 5 th coffee or energy drink for the day, perhaps take a walk instead, or simply call it a day. Be prepared to have your life consumed by your thesis and research for the last few months if you have no time during your whole Honours year, you might have to reassess your workload.
