Reference should be made to the University's General Regulations found in Section IV and Section V (Higher Degree Regulations) of the University Calendar.

Except where an opt-out has been granted by the University (see below) the following academic regulations apply in addition to the General Regulations.

1. Admissions
 
Specific entry criteria are detailed in the Programme Specifications.


2. Structure of Programme(s)
 
Mode of attendance and duration
The programme is only available on a full time basis.

Structure
Acoustics and Music is a joint honours degree programme organised in collaboration with Music in the Faculty of Humanities. Students choose a portfolio of acoustics and music modules within certain rules which are set out in the Programme Specification. The maximum contribution from either subject under these rules is approximately 75%.

Modules
Core, compulsory and optional modules for all degree programmes are listed in the Programme Specifications. All pre-requisites and assessments are documented in the module specifications. In particular, permissible combinations of acoustic modules and music modules for each part are defined in the Programme Specficiation.


3. Progression
 
The Progression Regulations are as given in the University Calendar Section IV.


4. Assessment
 
Assessment of examinations and coursework is in accordance with University regulations (see University Calendar Section IV).

When students repeat modules externally, it may be impractical for them to undertake the normal assessment activities, for example assessed laboratory or group work. In such cases where external repeat is permitted, they will be provided with an alternative but equivalent form of assessment which will meet the required learning outcomes.


5. Award of Qualification(s)
 
The final award is awarded by Senate on the recommendation of the Examination Board to candidates who have satisfactorily completed an approved course of study and have satisfied the assessment requirements.


6. Placements/Study Abroad/Exchange/Fieldwork
 
None.


7. Other
 
These regulations may be revised during the student's period of registration in accordance with the procedures approved by Senate.

Candidates are required to satisfy the academic and attendance requirements of the programme as laid out in the Programme Specification and the Student Handbook for the programme. Those failing to do so may have their course terminated.
