Further Information

The Examinations Office will contact you if you are eligible for re-assessment.  The cost of resitting each module will be stated clearly and you will need to indicate your intention to resit and then pay the relevant fee.  We will provide you with instructions for the different ways you can pay.  If you later change your mind, you must notify us in writing at least three weeks before the exam period begins, otherwise you will remain liable for the full fee.

Please note that the charges per credit are applicable for all types of re-assessment, including written examinations, coursework assignments, practicals and in-class tests. 

If you have an overall result of 'passed' you will not be eligible to resit any failed modules.
