What you need to graduate. All core courses in years 1 and 2 of the Medical Sciences degree programme must be passed to ultimately graduate with an Honours degree in Medical Sciences. A core course is compulsory for all Medical Sciences students. Core courses are listed in the Medical Sciences Degree Programme Table In the third and fourth (Junior and Senior Honours) years, compulsory courses must be taken. In the Junior Honours year passing a minimum of one of these courses is a requirement for progression to the Senior Honours year. In the Senior Honours year, passing the compulsory courses is not a requirement for the award of an Honours degree in Medical Sciences. Remember that you must also obtain 480 credit points over the degree programme to graduate with Honours. No exceptions can be made to these rules; however, up to 40 credit points can be awarded by aggregation for failed courses in each of the Honours years as long as the progression requirements indicated above are met. Degree classification Third year marks will count one third and fourth year marks two thirds towards your final overall degree classification, i.e. a 1:2 ratio for BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences students. For students who studied on exchange in third year, the final degree classification is based solely on the marks in Senior Honours.
