Progression

Whether or not you can progress onto your next level of study will depend on how many outstanding credits you have by the end of the academic year.
For more information, this
Results Flowchart
explains the Progression Rules.
Your official results email will also confirm your progression options to you.
If you've received your results email and have questions about the progression information in the email, please contact the Assessments team via
