Please Note: As this Traditional Programme has received a
derogation for the Modularisation Regulations until the Spanish
Government has ruled on the credit system that will apply in Spain,
the current Marks and Standards set out below will operate until
then. It is expected that the change to Modularisation will not
occur before 2010-2011. The traditional and new Marks &
Standards will apply during an appropriate period of
transition.

Standards 1. The Degree in the Bachelor of Commerce is a primary
degree in the School of Business. 2. Approved courses of study must
be attended for at least eight semesters after matriculation.
Students who
have not successfully satisfied all exam requirements of the entire
degree programme within twelve semesters may not remain in the
School of Business.
3. i. The pass mark in each course is 40% and no compensation is
allowed. ii. Students who do not obtain the credits associated with
a course by the second examination
Page 21 of 18
offering may be required to re-register for that course, re-attend,
complete any assigned course work, pass the examination and pay the
associated tuition fee. Students should note that courses may
change from year to year, may not be offered in certain years and
may be dropped entirely from the programme. This will require the
substitution of a course(s) by additional course(s) and will entail
re-registration, re-attendance and the payment of appropriate
fees.
iii. Credits will be given for each set of course units passed.
Each level of the degree programme contains 75 credits.
iv. Where a mark is given for course work a pass mark will not be
awarded for the course unless at least 35% is attained in the
written examination in that course. The course work shall only be
counted for the first examination offering of any course. The
second offering examination mark shall, therefore, be based
entirely on the second offering examination paper.
4. The degree is composed of a number of courses, which are given
at four levels. Level 1 courses are offered at the commencement of
the degree programme. These are followed by Level 2 courses. Level
3 and Level 4 courses are taken in the final stages of the degree
programme. Courses in all levels are semesterised and examinations
are held at the end of each course. Examinations take place at the
end of the semester in which the subject is taught and one repeat
examination is offered. The repeat examinations for semester 1 and
semester 2 examinations are held in September. In the event that a
course is changed or modified, then no additional repeat
examinations for the original course will be offered. A student may
not repeat any examination that the student has already passed. A
student is deemed to have completed his/her degree requirements as
soon as all required courses have been passed.
5. Progress from Level 1 to Level 2:
i. Students who obtain a total of 75 credits on the combined
results of the Semester I and Semester II examinations of the Level
1 courses are eligible for unrestricted entry into Level 2 (second
year) courses.
ii. Students who obtain 52 or more credits, but less than 75
credits, may progress to Level 2 and attend courses at that level.
However any Level 1 examinations not passed must be repeated.
iii. Students who obtain less than 52 credits in the combined
results at the end of Semester I and Semester II examinations of
the first year may not remain in the programme. The School may
waive this rule in exceptional circumstances.
6. Progress from Level 2 to Level 3 and Level 3 to Level 4:
i. Students wishing to progress to Level 3 must have completed all
the exam requirements of Level 1. Students who obtain 52 or more
credits, but less than 75 credits, may progress to Level 3 and
attend all Level 3 courses. However any Level 2 examinations not
passed must be repeated.
ii. Students wishing to progress to Level 4 must have completed all
the exam requirements of Level 2. Students who obtain 52 or more
credits, but less than 75 credits, may progress to Level 4 and
attend all Level 4 courses. However any Level 3 examinations not
passed must be repeated.
7. Honours may be awarded in each course and in the degree as a
whole.
8. For degree honours classification, a weight of 50% will be given
to Level 3 examinations, and 50% to Level 4 examinations.
