S.L. 327.135 Art. 8

(1) (1) At the end of Year 2 of the Course only, students who successfully complete all the study-units of the first two years of the

Course (the Pre-Clinical Part) with an average mark of at least 70% in each of the first two years of the Course, shall be eligible to apply to join the Course leading to the Bachelor Degree. Students who fail to complete a study-unit/s that can be assessed only once during the academic year, and hence no supplementary session is possible, or students who are prevented for a reason considered valid by Senate from being assessed in this study-unit/s, shall be allowed to progress conditionally to the Bachelor Degree. Such students shall be required to successfully complete any study-unit/s which has/have been so referred during the intercalated year.

(2) Senate, on the recommendation of the Board, shall determine the number of applicants that may be allowed to register for the Bachelor Degree, depending on the availability of resources. The number of available places shall be announced at the time of the call for applications.

(3) When the number of applicants that may be admitted to the Bachelor Degree is limited in terms of paragraph (2) of this regulation, and the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of places available, applicants shall be selected according to the highest overall performance in the first two years of the Degree Course.

(4) In the case of two applicants who have identical average marks in the first two years of the Degree Course, selection will be based on an interview.

(5) Following selection in terms of paragraphs (3) and (4) of this regulation, the Board of Studies for the Bachelor Degree shall interview the students to assign the research projects.

(6) Students who interrupt the Course for the Degree at the end of the Pre-Clinical Part and successfully complete the 60 ECTS credits assigned to the intercalated year, shall be eligible for the award of the Bachelor Degree. Such students may then proceed to the third year of the Course for the Degree or terminate their studies.

(7) Students who fail to obtain the 60 ECTS credits assigned to the intercalated year shall not be eligible for the award of the Bachelor Degree but may be allowed to progress to the third year of the Course for the Degree. Students shall not be allowed to refer any missing study-units of the intercalated year to the third year of the Course for the Degree."
