S.L. 327.328 Art. 31Progression and annual enrolment for Postgraduate Courses.

(1) Students registered on taught programmes extending over more than one academic year shall only be allowed to enrol for the following year if they pass all the taught study-units for the year, or are allowed to refer study-units as provided for in regulation 29 (3), and provided that progression to the research component shall require successful completion of the taught component with a minimum average mark of at least 50%. Students registered on programmes mainly by research shall be allowed to enrol for the following year subject to a satisfactory progress report from their Principal Supervisor.

(2) If a student is prevented for a reason considered valid by Senate from being assessed in a taught study-unit, the student shall be required to complete the previous year’s requirements in an additional year of study. Under no circumstances shall a student be allowed to progress from the current year to a subsequent year if the student does not pass all the taught study-units of the year previous to the current.

(3) Students are required to enrol at the commencement of the Postgraduate Course and at the beginning of each academic year throughout their period of study, whether they are following a mainly taught programme or a mainly research programme.
