Overall Result Calculation for the Graduate Diploma Programmes
| Weighting per Mod. | Credits per Mod. | |
|---|---|---|
| Taught Modules (8 to be completed) | 1 | 7.5 |
| Total Weightings for Grad. Dip. Programme: | 8 | - |
| Total Credits for Grad. Dip. Programme: | 60 | - |
To complete the Graduate Diploma programmes, you must complete eight (8) taught modules.
The eight taught modules are weighted at 1 each.
The overall mark for the programme is a weighted aggregate mark, calculated as follows:
As the taught modules are weighted at 1, we just add the actual results in each module together (i.e. this is the same as multiplying each individual actual module result by 1, and then adding all 8 together).
The total is then divided by 8 (i.e. the total number of weightings for the programme) - this gives us the weighted aggregate mark for the programme.
The Graduate Diploma award classifications are as follows:
PASS : 40 - 59%
Credit : 60 - 69%
Distinction : 70 - 100%
Repeating/Resitting a Module
If you repeat/resit a postgrad module examination, and say get an actual result of ‘70’, you will see the ‘70’ on your transcript, but for the calculation of the overall programme result, we can only use your first attempt for the module.
