FURTHER INFORMATION PS122, PS123 & PS113 No minimum pass mark is required in either of the individual sub modules PS122 and PS123. The result in the ten credit main module PS113** is calculated based on the average of sub-modules PS122 and PS123. The minimum pass mark for module PS113 is 40%. University compensation regulations apply to the main module PS113 only. If a student fails to reach a mark of 40% in main module PS113, and is not eligible to compensate according to University guidelines in module PS113, then they must repeat the individual sub-module(s) (PS122 & PS123) where they received a mark of less that 40%. Following the repeat sitting of the failed element the average of modules PS122 and PS123 will be recalculated and a repeat mark awarded in the main module PS113. There is no requirement in the repeat diet to attain a minimum mark in either sub-element PS122 or PS123. The pass mark for the main module PS1113 at the repeat sitting is 40%. ****Students who register for modules PS122 and PS123 must also register for the combined master module PS113 for averaging purposes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
