What Happens if You Fail
Students who fail the minimum number of credits will not be able to re-enrol for the same programme for two academic years.

Master's students who fail the set minimum number of credits have a single opportunity to submit a reasoned request to remain on the programme. The request must include the relevant supporting documents for any of the following circumstances:
- A serious illness suffered by students or their family members (up to second degree relatives or similar)

Maximum Number of Enrolments
Students are allowed a maximum of four ordinary enrolments in order to pass a subject.
Master's students who have enrolled four times for a subject and not yet been awarded a pass mark may request an additional enrolment from programme coordinators to re-enrol for a further year.
