Initial degree level, not normally counting towards the final degree classification, except for students following degree courses in subjects which are not cognate
2
Degree level, normally counting towards the final degree classification
3

Table 6

To indicate the nature and proportion of the types of assessment associated with each unit there is a code followed by a numeric value to represent the percentage. For example, an assessment made entirely on the basis of a formal examination would be coded EX100. If there is no information, this does not mean there is no assessment! Some information was not available at the time of going to press. Please ask your Director of Studies for more information. The following codes have been used:

Code
Type of assessment
CW
Assessed coursework
DS
Dissertation
ES
Assessed essay
EX
Written examination
OR
Oral examination
OT
Other
PR
Practical or laboratory classes/reports/work
