Progression Criteria
All students need to pass 100 credits (by September)To include all PFP modules on your
programme
Students who fail a PFP module even after August resit, must change programme, or take a year out and resit as an external
student.
Students who only pass 80 credits (but pass all PFP modules) can progress on an ORDINARY degree (and can redeem HONOURS if
they make up the credits in subsequent years).
Pass for Progression

ACADEMIC CHOICES AT
LEVEL 2
It is important to know….
Year 2 will get a lot HARDER….
• Each module will have different recommended text-it will be your responsibility to acquire these.
• The level of Maths in Physics lectures will increase
• You will come across new material (content never seen before) and it will be delivered fast.

How Does Pal Work?How does PAL work? Two trained Mentors lead a group of 15 – 20 first year
students
Compulsory for Year 1 Students
Sessions based on lecture notes/ homework /
general uni life
Sessions should be informal and
relaxed; a safe place for students to ask about things
they don’t understand
What are the benefits of being a PAL Mentor?
You will develop a wide range of skills such as:
Time Management
Teamwork
Communication
Plus many more skills
You will also gain a deeper
understanding of Physics yourself
To Apply to become a PAL Mentor please see Jessica Severn in the UG Office
You will need a reference from your Personal Tutor
