Degree classification

Consult Senate Regulation 5: Regulations governing undergraduate programmes of study when determining if an undergraduate student is eligible for an award and their degree classification.

Note: A student who entered their second year in 2009/10 or before should have their award and degree classification determined according to the scheme of assessment that was in operation at that time. Consult the Quality Office for details (qualoffice@le.ac.uk | 0116 252 2605)
