From 2016 the following criteria will apply (i.e., this will not apply to those in Stage 4 in 2015-2016, but will apply to those in Stage 4 in 2016-2017).


At Stage 3 (Level 9), four courses are core to each of the Psychology degree programmes. These are: C99RH Research Methods and Analysis; C99CL Cognition Across the Lifespan; C99CH Psychobiology; C99SG Social Cognition and Personality. The highest TWO marks from these four courses will contribute to the final degree classification. Any resits for these courses will be capped at 40%.
At Stage 4 (Level 10), all courses (including the final year project) need to be passed at Grade D or above, and must be passed at the first attempt. The final year project is comprised of one course in Semester 1, and one course in Semester 2.
Final degree classification will be based on a weighted average of 80% from the eight Stage 4 (Level 10) courses and 20% from the two highest contributing marks from Stage 3 (Level 9) courses.
