These courses outside CATS have their own assessment and progression regulations often for reasons associated with professional bodies. Courses or pathways in CATS are governed by a standard set of rules set out in the University s Assessment Regulations . What follows here is an attempt to explain the basic rules, but this explanation must not be taken in any sense to over-rule the detailed official regulations. A standard module is worth 10 credits and is taught over one semester.
CATS pathways are either at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
In a few instances professional body accreditation may further complicate this decision and in which case it will be explained in your course handbook. Referral examinations usually take place in the last week in August and the first week in September. Referred assignments are due in during this same period. You need to take account of this when planning your holidays and other commitments. This can in some instances extend the period of time it takes you to complete your course or pathway.
