Requirements for passing the course

All Informatics first and second year courses have the same requirements for passing. In order to pass each half course you must satisfy the following requirements:

For progression to Honours from second year to third year there are further requirements on relevant second year courses which are stated in the University Calendar.

It is important to understand that while there are resits for examinations there are no resits for coursework. Therefore if you do not meet the requirement on coursework work the only way to pass the course is to retake it the following year. You will still be able to take the resit examination if you wish but this can only act as a practice run to help you with your reattendance of the course. Note that as usual the requirements can be waived by the Board of Examiners if there are sufficiently strong mitigating circumstances; it is therefore vital that you inform your Director of Studies of any such circumstances.

Checking your progress

In order to succeed in your studies you should keep up with the material of the course and make a good attempt at coursework The requirements stated above represent a bare minumum and do not indicate good progress. Your marks for each piece of coursework will be returned to you as soon as they are available so that you can (and indeed should) keep your own record.

For your convenience and as a means of helping you to check your progress, the ITO will do its best to collect the following information for you at just after half way through each half course and email it to your University sms account:

It is your responsibility to check your sms email account regularly. If for some reason the information does not reach you then ask the ITO either in person or using the ITO internal contact form, quoting your full name, matriculation number and the course(s) for which you are seeking information.
