Assessment
Assessment will be based on coursework (continual assessment and examination performance) and the dissertation.
The Court of Examiners will meet in April to review coursework marks and in July to incorporate dissertation marks into overall grades.
50 per cent must be achieved on both the coursework and the dissertation component for a student to be awarded the MSc degree. Those who fail to achieve an average of 50 per cent in MSc coursework but who reach an adequate standard (40-49 per cent) will not be allowed to proceed to the dissertation, but will be eligible for the award of a Diploma in Economic Science.
