Stage

A student will progress through a programme in stages, where the completion of a stage normally requires the successful accumulation of 60 ECTS credits. The student may then progress to the next stage of the programme according to the regulations outlined in Section 3. A 60-credit stage will normally be completed in one academic year by a full-time student, but this may not be true of part-time, access and other non-standard students. Programme specifications will define the credit requirements of each stage of the programme, and will specify the range of modules which must or may be taken in order to satisfy those credit requirements
