The General Academic Regulations which are in Section IV (General Academic Regulations) of the University Calendar apply to and regulate the programmes listed above.

On occasion, programmes can be exempted from one or more of the clauses in the General Academic Regulations, or one or more of the clauses can be varied.

  • Exemptions are characterised by the omission of the relevant clause.
  • Variations are characterised by the replacement of the clause with alternative wording.
The programmes listed have approval from the Academic Quality and Standards Committee for the exemptions and/or variations to the regulations noted below.

Additional requirements are also listed.


Exemptions
The clause(s) listed below describe where an exemption to the General Regulations exists.
  Programmes which lead to registration with the Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists (RCCP) are exempt from clauses 3.1, 3.3 under section 3 and clauses 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 under section 4 of the Progression, Determination and Classification of Results for Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes in order to meet professional requirements.
  No restriction is placed on the number of modules on which students may be referred for a second attempt. In exceptional circumstances, and in order to achieve the practice hours required by PSRB standards, students may conditionally progress to the next part of the programme before all modules have been passed. Any outstanding practice modules must be successfully completed by the end of the following placement period.


Variations
None.


Additional Requirements
The clauses listed below are in addition to the General Academic Regulations.
  To qualify for the award of Bachelor of Healthcare Sciences with Honours, candidates must be of good health and good character and worthy of admission to the professions of cardiac physiology and respiratory and sleep physiology.
  Continuation on your programme is subject to consideration of any criminal convictions. The programme is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act [1986]. All students are required to inform the Faculty of all criminal convictions both prior to and throughout their period of enrolment. All students will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
  Continuation on your programme is subject to specific health requirements (consistent with the provisions of the Equality Act [2010]).  Students are required to inform the Faculty of any health problems, throughout their period of enrolment, relevant to their future employment as a professional.
   
 
These regulations should be read in conjunction with the programme specification.



Disclaimer
As a research-led University, we undertake a continuous review of our programmes to ensure quality enhancement and to manage our resources. As a result, these regulations may be revised during a student's period of registration, however, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Please read our Disclaimer to see why, when and how changes may be made to a student's programme.
