Exemptions
Although the
University use the word 'exemption', other institutions often use
the term 'credit transfer'. An exemption means that you are not
required to take a particular unit as part of your degree.
Students may apply for exemption from Level 1 of the degree or
from any of its constituent units or half units.
To be eligible
you must satisfy the University that you have already passed
examinations that compare in level, content and standard to the
syllabuses from which you want to be exempted. Some exemptions the
University award are automatically granted; all
others are considered on a non-automatic basis.
To be considered
for exemption you must satisfy the University's criteria and
make an application. Any exemption awarded is
only valid for a limited period which will be specified in your
decision letter. If you do not attempt an examination during this
period, the exemption will expire. If you still want the exemption
to count towards your degree you will need to apply again.
All non-automatic
exemptions are considered on payment of a fee, currently £50 per
unit / £25 per half unit.
