Cornwall College Student Union (CCSU) CCSU exists to represent your voice at every level in the College and to make sure you have a fantastic time whilst you are a student with us. Whether you are studying A-Levels, gaining a Foundation Degree, or working towards a BTEC National Diploma - you are a member of the Students’ Union. Every campus has a team of elected student officers who will be working hard all year, from organising pa...rties to running campaigns, and you have plenty of chances to get involved. Plus, here at Cornwall College your voice is louder than ever, all classes have an elected representative who gets to feedback straight to the President and the local site teams. The Students’ Union is one of the best things about Cornwall College and you have the power to determine what it’s doing. There is something for everyone, so don’t hesitate to join in! Progression through the programme If you have previously studied an FdSc awarded by Plymouth University, e.g. FdSc Equitation, Training and Behaviour, your final Honours Degree classification will be calculated from the marks gained from the FdSc and the BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science programmes as below: 10% from 4 – calculated from the highest achieved 80 credits. Where modules are arranged in such a way that the 80 credits of ‘highest module marks’ cannot be identified unequivocally, the average for the best 70 credits and 90 credits will be calculated and the student given the best advantage. 30% from Level 5 60% from Level 6 However, if you have come from another institution then your final award will be calculated from the marks gained from your level 6 modules only. Full details of how overall grades are calculated and the levels of awards given can be found within the Plymouth Academic Regulations at: Graduates of the BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science (Top Up) programme may progress onto the MSc Equitation Science or exceptionally the Research Masters (Equitation Science) subject to academic performance.
