Progression Criteria
All students need to pass 100 credits (by September)
To include all PFP modules on your programme
Pass for Progression Modules Physics:
Astro:
Nano:
Theor:
LAB 1
LAB 1
LAB 1
LAB 1
LAB 2
LAB 2 Stars & Galaxies
LAB 2 Physics of Materials
LAB 2
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).
Resits for ‘coursework-only’ modules
 Apply (and Pay) on-line as for a normal resit
 Details of the resit coursework will be posted on the VLE on 7 th July (results day)
Modules this Applies to:
 Computing
 Laboratory
Do Not Book a Holiday
during the Re-Sit Period!
Re-sit Period –
Tuesday 12th –
Friday 22nd August
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
Sessions should be
informal and
relaxed; a safe
place for students
to ask about things
they don’t
understand
Two trained Mentors lead a
Pal Work?
