UCA has recently update their Academic Regulations and Grading Descriptors, adjusting the pass mark for Level 7 postgraduate units, in response to changes in the new conditions of registration set by UK’s Office for Students (OfS). This change applies to all postgraduate students who enrolled onto a programme with us for the first time in September 2023. The pass threshold for students on these courses will be adjusted to 50% from the current pass mark of 40%, to align with the wider Higher Education sector. Please note that this does not mean that achieving a pass mark will become harder for students. To ensure that students are provided with a consistent and transparent academic experience UCA have set out the Academic Regulations and Grading Descriptors.
