Assessment and Examination
All modules in this honours programme, with the exception of the research project, are assessed through a combination of theory, practical work and an examination. The research project is assessed based on the submission of a final research report and an oral presentation. The final mark is calculated as a weighted mark according to the credit value of each module. To obtain this honours degree you must achieve a final mark of 50% and pass each module with 50%.
If you fail a theory-based module you may apply to repeat this module in the following year. You may repeat a maximum of two modules. Admission to the relevant module(s) in the following year is solely at the discretion of the department. However, if you fail the research module or the module: special topics in the second semester, you fail the BScHons in Polymer Science programme, as you cannot apply to repeat these modules in the following year.
