Students must have at least 100 credits at level 3. If candidates wish to take an external module then, since external modules are typically 10 or 20 credits, they must take5 modules from restricted group 2 (75 credits) and the remaining 30 credits would be made up as follows: 1 level 3 external module + 2 level 2 economics modules* or 2 level 3 external modules + 1 level 2 economics module* or 1 level 2 external module (only permissible if continuing a language) + 1 level 3 external module + 1 level 2 economicsmodule*. Notes: Two level 2 external modules are not permissible. All external modules must be approved by both the offeringSchool and Economics. *Students cannot take a module they have already taken in a previous year.

6. The forms of assessment applicable to modules comprising the course of study for this degree shall be as indicated in theCatalogue of Modules.

Assessment

The School employs a variety of rigorous quality assurance processes to ensure that high standards of assessmentare both set and met. These include: <ul><li>Moderation of exam papers by the School Examinations Committee and by external examiners</li><li>Moderation of marking by a second internal examiner</li><li>Sample of scripts/coursework and marks distribution sent to external examiners</li><li>Bi-annual meeting of internal exam boards</li><li>External examiners present at Final Exam Board meetings where cases of failed students are discussed andextenuating circumstances taken into account</li><li>University rules on progression apply</li></ul>

The University rules on progression inform the decisions taken at Examination Boards. Only in very exceptionalcircumstances, affecting the performance of the candidate can the School Examination Board recommend that studentsprogress without meeting all of the written criteria. 

In the case of students registered for this degree, fail marks gained in either Introduction to Microeconomics(L11100) or Introduction to Macroeconomics (L11200) may not be compensated under the provisions of Regulation 16 ofthe University Regulations for First degrees. Candidates who have not been permitted to proceed to the following year oftheir course may be required, before being so permitted, to submit such remedial work, in accordance with suchconditions, as the Head of School may require.

L11145 Study Skills and L12350 Careers Skills are non-credit bearing modules which require students to submitassessed work. Failure to submit this work will result in a mark of 0 being recorded on their transcripts.

Progression Information

Degree Information

Failure of 35 Year 3 credits is usually condoned, but a candidate who fails 40 or more credits in Part II will notqualify for an Honours Degree. Such candidates will be offered one reassessment opportunity in failed Year 3 modulesprovided their overall average is at least 40% (or 39% with a 'not unfavourable' paper count), to enable qualification foran Honours Degree. If the criteria for an Honours Degree award are not met, candidates may be eligible for the award ofa Pass Degree or Ordinary Degree, subject to University Regulations. Full degree regulations can be found athttp://www.nottingham.ac.uk/quality-manual/study-regulations/undergraduate-regulations.htm.

<h4>Exam Conventions</h4>

Degree classification is based on the credit-weighted arithmetic mean of all modules taken in Parts I and II. The overallaverage is obtained from a weight of 0.4 on the average mark for all Part I modules and a weight of 0.6 on Part IImodules.

Any candidate who obtains an average mark in a particular class will (except for borderline cases - see below) beawarded that classification. The weighted numerical average is translated into the degree classification asfollows: 

Marks in range<ul><li>70 and above: class 1<li>60 and above but less than 70: class 2.1<li>50 and above but less than 60: class 2.2<li>40 and above but less than 50: class 3<li>Less than 40: Fail </ul>

The convention on the rounding of marks is as follows:<ol>

<li> Module marks are recorded as a single integer or rounded mark with rounding required when marks for componentsof a module are weighted together.

<li> When the overall weighted Part I/II is computed, it is rounded into a single overall integer mark, before a degreeclassification is assigned. The following rounded marks are regarded as "borderline":

<ul><Li>39: Borderline class 3<li>49:Borderline class 2.2<li>59:Borderline class 2.1<li>68/69: Borderline class 1</ul><li>Where a candidate's overall average mark falls into one of the above borderlines, the examiners consider the classdistribution of the individual module marks to decide on the degree classification. This distribution is summarised by theuse of a modular weighted paper count measure based on the following: <table border="1"><tr><th>Module Mark</th><th>Paper Count</th></tr><tr><td>70% and above</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td>60-69%</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>50-59%</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>40-49%</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>39% and below</td><td>5</td></tr></table>

<li>In the case of all borderlines the higher class will be awarded to candidates whose weighted paper count is notunfavourable. This is taken to be:

<ul><li>Not more than 4.5 for a class 3<li>Not more than 3.5 for a class 2.2<li>Not more than 2.5 for a class 2.1<li>In the case of a class 1 degree, there is a slight relaxation to recognise the difficulties of obtaining very highaverages, and a weighted paper count of not more than 1.75 is taken to be not unfavourable.</ul>

<li>Results for candidates are presented to the examiners in descending order of the overall average marks.</ul>

Degree Information

Full degree regulations can be found athttp://www.nottingham.ac.uk/quality-manual/study-regulations/undergraduate-regulations.htm. Degreeclassification is based on the credit-weighted arithmetic mean of the 100 credits taken in Part I, with a weight of 0.4, andthe 100 credits taken in Part II, with a weight of 0.6. Where a transfer on to the Ordinary degree has occurred at the endof Part I or Part II of an Honours degree course, the best marks obtained in 100 credits in each part are used; in caseswhere 15 credit modules have been taken and the best module marks do not total exactly 100 credits, one module will beassigned a different credit weight to ensure a total of 100 credits in each part. The Ordinary degree classifications are as follows: Marks in range 70 and above: Distinction 60 and above but less than 70: Merit 40 and above but less than 60: Pass Less than 40: Fail Marks awarded on reassessment can contribute to the final mark calculation for the purpose of the Pass/Fail classification,but not for the purpose of awarding Merits and Distinctions. 

The convention on the rounding of marks is as follows: 1. Module marks are recorded as a single integer or rounded mark with rounding required when marks for components ofa module are weighted together. 2. When the overall weighted Part I/II is computed, it is rounded into a single overall integer mark, before a degreeclassification is assigned. The following rounded marks are regarded as "borderline": o 39: Borderline Pass o 59: Borderline Merit o 68/69: Borderline Distinction 3. Where a candidate's overall average mark falls into one of the above borderlines, the examiners consider thedistribution of the individual module marks to decide on the degree classification. This distribution is summarised by theuse of a modular weighted paper count measure based on the following: Module Mark: Paper Count 70% and above: 1 60-69%: 2 50-59%: 3 40-49%: 4 39% and below: 5 

4. In the case of all borderlines the higher classification will be awarded to candidates whose weighted paper count is notunfavourable. This is taken to be: o Not more than 4.5 for a Pass o Not more than 2.5 for a Merit o In the case of a Distinction, there is a slight relaxation to recognise the difficulties of obtaining very high averages, anda weighted paper count of not more than 1.75 is taken to be not unfavourable. 5. Results for candidates are presented to the examiners in descending order of the overall average marks.

Degree Information

<li> When the overall weighted Part I/II is computed, it is rounded into a single overall integer mark, before a degreeclassification is assigned. The following rounded marks are regarded as "borderline": 

<ul><li>39: Borderline class 3<li>49:Borderline class 2.2<li>59:Borderline class 2.1<li>68/69: Borderline class 1</ul> <li>Where a candidate's overall average mark falls into one of the above borderlines, the examiners consider the classdistribution of the individual module marks to decide on the degree classification. This distribution is summarised by theuse of a modular weighted paper count measure based on the following: <table border="1"><tr><th>Module Mark</th><th>Paper Count</th></tr><tr><td>70% and above</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td>60-69%</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>50-59%</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>40-49%</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>39% and below</td><td>5</td></tr></table> 

In the case of all borderlines the higher class will be awarded to candidates whose weighted paper count is notunfavourable. This is taken to be: 

<ul><li>Not more than 4.5 for a class 3<li>Not more than 3.5 for a class 2.2<li>Not more than 2.5 for a class 2.1<li>In the case of a class 1 degree, there is a slight relaxation to recognise the difficulties of obtaining very highaverages, and a weighted paper count of not more than 1.75 is taken to be not unfavourable.</ul> 

Results for candidates are presented to the examiners in descending order of the overall average marks.
