5.4 MMath candidates who fail at the end of Part A, B, C or Part D.

A MMath candidate may elect to enter Part B/C of the BSc degree programme in Mathematics provided that the candidate has achieved the criteria for progression required for that programme.  Failure at re-assessment will not prejudice this permission to enter the BSc degree programme subsequently.

Any MMath candidate who fails to achieve the criteria for progression from Part C to Part D shall have the opportunity to repeat Module Assessments in accordance with the provision of Regulation XX in order to qualify to progress to Part D.  The Programme Board may at its discretion award the degree of BSc in Mathematics to any candidate who has satisfied the requirements for that degree.  Failure at re-assessment will not prejudice the candidate's eligibility for such an award.

Any candidate who, having successfully completed Part C, is unable to commence or complete Part D or fails to achieve the criteria necessary for the award of the degree of MMath in Mathematics may at the discretion of the Programme Board be awarded the degree of BSc in Mathematics with a classification corresponding to the candidate's achievement in Part B and C assessments and determined on the basis of the weightings given for the BSc programme (below).

6. Relative Weighting of Parts of the Programme for the Purposes of Final Degree Classification

Candidates' final degree classification will be determined on the basis of their performance in degree level Module Assessments in Parts B and C (and D if applicable). The average percentage mark for each Part will be combined in the ratio specified in the following table. 

BSc Candidates	Part B : Part C	1 : 3
Mathematics MMath Candidates	Part B : Part C : Part D	1 : 3 : 4
