Selection is based on:
In addition to the listed programmes, a student may register for a selection of modules which does not conform to a specific package. This requires a written application which is recommended by the Head of Department in which the research project is to be pursued and approved by the Dean. The relevant head of department may require specific modules to be taken. The written application is to be submitted to the Dean through Student Administration after a recommendation has been obtained from the relevant head of department.
Such a specially approved combination must consist of a minimum of 128 credits, and must contain at least the core modules NMQ 745, CDD 710 and EDS 711 together with at least 48 credits of elective modules drawn from the listed packages.
The research project consists of NMQ 755 and one of the research report modules (AQA 780, CDV 780, CIE 780, WEM 781, LSG 780 or SMP 780). At least one of the modules of the combination must be cognate with the research project.
The degree will be awarded as the Bachelor of Education Honours (General).
Subject to exceptions approved by the Dean, on the recommendation of the relevant head of department, a student may not sit for an examination for the honours degree more than twice in the same module.
A final-year student who has failed a maximum of three semester modules or their equivalent, with a final mark of at least 40% in each, may be admitted by the Dean to a special examination/s in these modules during January of the following year, provided that this will enable the student to comply with all the requirements for the degree.
