Notes

All students

From 1 September 2010 students may no longer register for, or transfer to, the BSc Politics (Standard Route and Graduate Entry Route). Examinations will take place for the last time in 2015.

100 courses are always treated as 100 courses at classification regardless of the point on the structure at which they are placed (see Annex D).

Standard Route degree students (as applicable)

Accreditation of prior learning awarded from one unnamed 100 course may be counted for this course (one at most).

OR

A student who transfers to this degree with a pass in a 100 course which is not available at this degree may count this as a credit for one unnamed 100 course. Credit for one unnamed 100 course will count for this course only.
