Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
Changes to Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences (EMFSS) BSc,
Graduate Diploma and Diploma for Graduates Regulations 2016-17:
Significant general changes
1. Since 2011-12, there have been two sets of regulations for the suite of EMFSS programmes,
Old Regulations and New Regulations. 2015-16 was the final year for programmes offered
under the Old Regulations. From 2016-17, all students are governed by the New
Regulations. As there is now only one set of Regulations, explicit reference to New
Regulations will not be made throughout, but any reference to the Old Regulations will be
specified as such.
2. If you are registering for the first time for a Standard Route degree from 2016-17, you will be
required to attempt 12 full courses and pass a minimum of 11 to be awarded a degree. This
includes students who are transferring or progressing from the Certificate of Higher
Education in Social Sciences, Diploma in Economics and Diploma in Social Sciences, as
well as students who have cancelled their registration for a Graduate Diploma to register on
a degree and students transferring from Individual Courses.
If you registered on a degree in 2015-16 or earlier, you will be able to continue to attempt 12
full courses and pass a minimum of 10 to be awarded the degree, but will also be able to
choose whether to accept the award with 10 passes or attempt one or both of the failed
courses again.
All students will be classified when they have attempted 12 full courses (or
equivalent) and passed 11 full courses (or equivalent).
3. The award title of Diploma for Graduates has been renamed to Graduate Diploma. If you
have registered for a Diploma for Graduates in a previous year and are continuing your
studies in 2016-17, you can choose to keep your existing award title or change to a
Graduate Diploma.
4. Selection groups F(i) and F(ii) are combined into a single selection group, called F1.
Selection group F(iii) will become F2.
New programmes
5. The Certificate in Higher Education in Social Sciences (CHESS) is launched for the 2016-17
academic year, and the Diploma in Economics and Diploma in Social Sciences are now
closed to new registrations. If you are registered on one of the Diplomas you will have the
full five-year registration period available to complete your studies, with final examinations
(including resits) available in 2019-20.
6. The Certificate of Higher Education and the Diplomas are now covered in a separate set of
Regulations.
Closing programmes - please also see the information box at the bottom of this list
7. 2016-17 is the final year for BSc Geography and Environment, and the examination period is
for resit examinations only. If you are unable to complete the degree in 2016-17, you may
consider the options of either applying for an unnamed exit award or transferring to another
degree where possible.
8. The Access route is now completely withdrawn.
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
Closing courses
9. The following courses are available for the final time in 2016-17, for resit examinations only:
GY2149 Biogeography
GY2152 Hydrology
GY3155 Biodiversity
SC1158 Reading social science (half course) (see points 12 and 26 below)
10. Three courses have been withdrawn: MN1107 Introduction to business and management,
MN3077 Management: international and comparative perspectives and SC1021 Principles of
sociology.
If you were registered for MN1107 or SC1021 in a previous year, have not passed it and
have attempts at examination remaining, you will automatically be transferred to the
replacement courses, MN1178 Business and management in a global context or SC1179
Contemporary sociology in a global age respectively, and carry across the number of
attempts.
If you were registered on MN3077 and have attempts remaining, you will have to choose
another course to replace it.
11. LA3016 Succession has been withdrawn with immediate effect and is no longer available for
registration.
12. SC1158 Reading social science (half course) is being withdrawn and 2016-17 is the final
year it is offered, which is for resit examinations only.
13. Notice is served on the following courses:
These courses will be available for examination as a first attempt for the final time in 2017-18
and final resit examinations will be in 2018-19.
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
Programme changes
14. The programme structure for BSc Banking and Finance Graduate Entry has changed. At
point 6, EC2020 Elements of econometrics has been removed from the list of options. If you
have registered for this course in a previous year, you will be allowed to continue with your
registration for it, up to the maximum number of attempts.
15. The programme structure for BSc Economics and Management (Path B) Graduate Entry has
changed. At point 8, IS2136 Information systems and organisations and MN2079 Elements
of social and applied psychology have been removed from the list of options. At point 9, you
will be able to select a 300 course only from Selection group E. However, if you have
registered for IS2136 or MN2079 at point 8 or a 200 course at point 9 in a previous year, you
will be able to continue to register for them, up to the maximum number of attempts.
16. The programme structure for BSc Information Systems and Management (both Path A and
Path B) Graduate Entry has changed. At point 4, EC1002 Introduction to economics has
been removed from the list of options. If you have registered for the course in a previous
year, you will be allowed to continue with your registration for it, up to the maximum number
of attempts.
17. Due to the consolidation of Selection groups F(i) and F(ii) into F1, if you are registered on
BSc International Development or BSc Politics and International Development, you will be
able to choose a course from the whole of the new F1 Selection group where in previous
years you could select from F(i) only.
18. If you transfer to the BSc Mathematics and Economics or Graduate Diploma in Mathematics
you will need to either have passed a course or half course with an MT course code, or to
have passed a GCE A Level in Mathematics or equivalent. This is to align the programmes
with new higher mathematics course requirements for applicants.
19. The programme structure for BSc Sociology has a new option at point 2 of both Standard
and Graduate Entry Routes, and the structure for BSc Sociology and Law has a new option
at point 2 of the Standard Route. If you have not already made an examination attempt at
SC1158 Reading social science (half course), you will take the new full course SC1185
Reading social science. Please note the change in course codes.
20. For BSc Sociology and BSc Sociology with Law: If you have attempted and failed SC1158
Reading social science (half course) and still have attempts remaining, you may make a final
attempt at it in 2016-17, or switch to the new full course, carrying the number of attempts
over. If you switch to the new course, and have already passed ST104A Statistics 1 (half
course) then it will be placed elsewhere in the structure if there is space for it. If there is not,
then it must be discarded.
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
Course changes - Please note that this information does not include details of
updates to syllabuses
21. New co-requisites have been added for EC1002 Introduction to economics. You can now
only take EC1002 Introduction to economics at the same time as or after ST104A Statistics 1
and either MT105A Mathematics 1 or MT1174 Calculus, not before.
22. New co-requisites have been added and the prerequisites amended for EC2020
Econometrics. You can now only take EC2020 Econometrics at the same time as or after
ST104B Statistics 2 and MT105B Mathematics 2, not before. EC1002 Introduction to
economics remains a prerequisite course, and MT105A Mathematics 1 and ST104A
Statistics 1 become compulsory rather than optional prerequisites. However, if you have
passed MT1174 Calculus, you do not need to take MT105A or MT105B, but must still meet
the other prerequisites and co-requisites. MT1174 remains a prerequisite option and must be
passed before taking this course.
23. EC2096 Economic history in the 20th century has been renamed EC2096 Economic History
since 1900. If you have attempted this course you will keep the previous attempts on your
record.
24. MN2079 Elements of social and applied psychology has a new course code: SP2079. If you
have attempted this course you will keep the previous attempts on your record.
25. The exclusion rule between MT105A Mathematics 1 and MT1173 Algebra has been
removed, meaning you can now take both of these courses where available.
26. SC1185 Reading social science is a full course brought in to replace SC1158. If you have
attempted SC1158 and transfer to SC1185, you will carry over the number of attempts
(please note the change in course code between the half course and the full course).
27. The name of LA1031 Common law reasoning and institutions has changed to LA1031 Legal
system and method. If you have attempted this course you will keep the previous attempts
on your record.
28. A number of courses from the Undergraduate Laws Programme syllabuses are changing
from FHEQ level 6 (300 level) courses to FHEQ level 5 (200 level) courses. These are:
If you have passed any of these courses already, you will keep the existing pass with the
same level and course code. If you are taking one of these courses for the first time, or have
failed it in a previous sitting and have attempts left, you will be registered on the 200 level
course, and will keep any previous attempts on your record.
Miscellaneous
29. To codify existing practice, a regulation has been added to Section 7: Transfer of registration
to note that if you discard a course on transfer to another programme, you will be able to
continue to use that course to meet the prerequisite requirements of other courses.

300 courses are equivalent to Level 6
See the Glossary for information about the FHEQ.
1.2
For the purposes of these Regulations, two half courses (15 credits each) are equivalent to one full
course (30 credits). You can only pair 100 level half courses with other 100 level half courses.
See regulations 3.4-3.5 in Appendix D: Scheme of award for information on paring courses for
classification.
Degrees

University of London International Programmes
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
Choice of courses
1.12
You may change your choice of course provided that you can meet all of the following requirements:
you have not entered the examination for the course you want to change from;
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
an alternative course is available and you are eligible to register for it;
you can meet the co-requisites and prerequisites for the new course (degree students only).
Prerequisites are shown in the programme structures and Selection groups in Appendix A in
brackets next to the course names. Co-requisites are indicated by a black triangle in front of the
course name.
If you are registered for a degree and you change to a new course, you must ensure you meet
the prerequisites. New courses which replace old courses may have different prerequisites.
If you are registered for a Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates you do not need to meet corequisites or prerequisites but are strongly advised to be prepared for the high academic
requirements of the courses.
1.13
If you have entered the examination for a course, you may apply to change to a different course if
you meet the other conditions in 1.12, but all decisions will be at our discretion.
1.14
Where a course has been succeeded by a new replacement course, it is strongly recommended
that you change to the new course wherever possible if you have failed or not attempted the old
course.
In the unlikely event that we recommend you continue with a course that is being replaced, this
will be stated in the Notes section of the programme structures in Appendix A.
1.15
If you have failed the last available resit examination for a course which has been replaced, you
must change to the new course unless your programme structure allows you to change to an
alternative course.
Information on the number of attempts permitted can be found in Section 5: Number of attempts
permitted at an examination.
1.16
Not all courses will necessarily be available for study at all institutions recognised to teach the
programmes.

Automatic APL
2.7
In order for an application for automatic APL to be considered, you must:
have passed the whole qualification on the basis of which you are claiming APL, unless
otherwise stated in the Automatic Accreditation of Prior Learning table, and
have already received the final award for that qualification unless otherwise stated in the
Automatic Accreditation of Prior Learning table, and
have obtained all the qualifications on which the application for APL is based within the five
years preceding the application.
2.8
If you hold any of the qualifications listed in the Automatic Accreditation of Prior Learning table, you
will not be asked to pay the APL application fee for consideration of these courses but must still
submit an application.
2.9
When automatic APL is granted for alternative courses in the table of Automatic Accreditation of
Prior Learning (for example APL for MN1178 Business and management in a global context or one
unnamed 100 course), only one of these two credits can be counted towards your degree and the
following rule will apply:
if the named course (MN1178 in the above example) is available on the degree you are
registered on or will be registering for, then APL for this course will be counted towards your
degree; or
if the named course is not available on the degree you are registered on or will be registering
for, then APL for one unnamed 100 course may count towards the degree, if the degree
structure allows.
2.10
Automatic APL will be granted for up to the maximum four courses for the degree you are
registering for/have registered on. If you qualify for APL for a course which is not available on the
degree, then it will be noted but not applied to your record. If you later transfer your registration to
another degree where that APL is available, it will then be applied to your record as long as it is still
valid.
Unnamed 100 courses
2.11
APL is normally considered for named courses. However, in certain circumstances and if you can
meet relevant criteria, we may decide to award APL for one unnamed 100 course on a discretionary
or automatic basis.
2.12
Where APL is granted for an unnamed 100 course, the APL will be placed at the point on the
degree structure marked with a black diamond symbol () in Appendix A of the Regulations.
12
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
2.13
On transfer to a different degree through the Standard Route, APL previously granted from a named
course may be used as one unnamed 100 course provided that:
the named course is not available on the degree you are transferring to; and
this is allowed on the structure of the degree you are transferring to.
Credit transfer
2.14
Credit transfer can be considered for degrees studied through the Standard Route. It can also be
considered for degrees studied through the Graduate Entry Route and the Graduate
Diplomas/Diplomas for Graduates, subject to regulation 2.15.
2.15
Credit transfers are only allowed at our discretion for the degrees studied through the Graduate
Entry Route or the Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates if they have originated from an EMFSS
Individual Course, passed within five years of your effective date of registration on your current
programme.
See regulation 6.20 and also the regulations for EMFSS Individual Courses:
www.londoninternational.ac.uk/regs.
Registration
13
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
This regulation does not apply when progressing from the Certificate of Higher Education in
Social Sciences, Diploma in Economics or Diploma in Social Sciences to a degree, as your
credits will be transferred across where possible.
Assessment methods
4.1
Each full course is examined by one three-hour unseen written examination.
Each half course is examined by one two-hour unseen written examination.
For EMFSS courses, the exceptions to this are:
GY3157 Independent geographical study: this course is examined by a final project report of
between 8,000 and 10,000 words
IS3159 Research project in information systems: this course is examined by a project report
and evaluation form.
IS1060 Introduction to information systems and IS3139 Software engineering: theory and
application: the assessment for each of these courses involves the submission of
coursework in addition to unseen written examinations.
You are responsible for ensuring that you submit any required coursework by the date given on
the relevant course page in your VLE or subject guide.
Students studying law courses (any course in Selection groups F2 or L) should refer to the
Undergraduate Laws VLE for further information on assessment methods.
4.2
If you enter an examination you must be examined in all elements of the assessment set for that
course in the same academic year. If you fail to submit the required coursework for a course but sit
the written paper or vice-versa, you will normally be judged to have not completed the assessment.
You will receive a result of attempt incomplete for the course.
Receiving a result of attempt incomplete will count as an attempt at the examination, but will not
count towards the number of courses completed to assess your eligibility to graduate.
If you submit your coursework late you may be issued with a penalty.
Regulation 4.2 is not applicable for the course LA1031 Legal system and method. For more
details about the assessment for this course please refer to the relevant course area in your
VLE.
14
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
4.3
Half courses are paired, averaged and rounded up to a whole number to produce marks for
classification/grading purposes.
See regulations 3.4 - 3.5 in Appendix D: Scheme of award for further information on how half
courses are paired for classification.
If you are taking law courses
4.4
In the examination for law courses (any course in Selection groups F2 or L), questions may be set
on recent legislation and current proposals for law reform within the scope of the syllabus. You will
be expected to be familiar with developments in the law occurring up to 15 February in the year of
the examination.
If you are registered for the BSc Accounting with Law, BSc Management with Law or BSc
Sociology with Law, you should note that at the request of the Solicitors Regulation Authority
and the Bar Standards Board, we will provide these bodies with details of proven examination
offences, including any action we have taken.
Date of examinations
4.5
Written paper examinations take place in May/June each year.
4.6
You are responsible for submitting your coursework to us, and for ensuring that your work is sent to
the EMFSS Assessment Office on or before the deadline of 1 May.
1 May is a sent by deadline, meaning that the package must display clear evidence that it was
sent no later than this date (for example, a postmark or courier documentation).
Details of how to submit your coursework are provided on the relevant course page in the VLE.
15
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
4.9
If you are allowed to use a calculator in an examination, you must keep to the conditions listed
below, unless the course description or the information provided with your admission notice tells you
otherwise.
Calculators must:
be non-scientific;
be non-programmable; and
You must not use a calculator that communicates or displays textual, graphical or algebraic
information (other than error messages). If you use a calculator that does not meet all of these
conditions, you will be considered to have committed an assessment offence.
Where calculators are permitted, only calculators limited to performing just basic arithmetic
operations may be used. This is to encourage candidates to show the examiners the steps taken
in arriving at the answer.
See Section 8 of the General Regulations for information on assessment offences.

Statutes
A definitive list of statutes and other materials permitted in the examination hall is sent out with
the admission notice/timetable.
4.11
We will not provide statutes or other documents in the examination room. However, you will be
allowed to bring the statutes and other materials listed in the subject syllabuses into the examination
room. You are allowed to use any edition of the permitted statutes, although you are strongly
advised to use the most recent one.
Where statutes or statutory instruments are listed at the end of individual syllabuses this means a
Queens Printer copy of the statute or statutory instrument or a photocopy of a Queens Printer
copy or a Print (PDF) copy (but not a Web (HTML) copy) downloaded from the Office of Public
Sector Information website and a Queens Printer copy of any later statute amending or repealing
those statutes. Queens Printer copies must be of the full original statute or statutory instrument
and not of the statute or statutory instrument as reprinted in a case book or statute book.
The details of statutes and other documents given in the syllabuses are subject to revision by the
Board of Examiners and will be superseded by the consolidated list of statutes and other materials
which will be circulated to you with the timetable.
4.12
You may underline and/or highlight passages with a coloured pen in the materials, but all other
forms of personal annotation on statutes and other materials permitted to be taken into the
examination room are strictly forbidden. You may highlight different passages with different coloured
pens. You are forbidden to attach self-adhesive notelets or index tags or any other paper to the
pages of statute books or other permitted materials.
5.1
You may have a maximum of three attempts at the examination for each course of an EMFSS
degree.
5.2
You may have a maximum of two attempts at the examination for each course of a Graduate
Diploma/Diploma for Graduates.
17
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
5.3
If you are not yet eligible for your award, you are required to either:
make a further attempt at all failed courses, provided the maximum number of attempts has
not been exhausted; or
substitute a failed course with an alternative course where the programme structure allows.
5.4
You will not be allowed to make a further attempt at a course if you fail it at the final attempt. If
eligible, you will be able to choose:
to continue on the programme you are registered for, and replace the failed course with an
alternative course. This is only possible if:
o
if you can still meet all other requirements for the award, and
in the case of a degree, the failed course is not a prerequisite for a compulsory
course.
(for degrees through the Standard Route only) to continue the degree, carrying the course to
classification. You can only do this if the failed course is not a prerequisite for a compulsory
course and you can still meet all other requirements for the award of the degree;
However, if you cannot meet the requirements for your award or the conditions for transfer, your
registration will cease.
5.5
Once the Board of Examiners decides that you are eligible for a degree or Graduate
Diploma/Diploma for Graduates award, it will be awarded and you will not be permitted to make any
further attempts at any failed courses or to substitute any failed courses with alternative courses.
See regulation 6.9 for details of your eligibility for an award based on the number of passes
relating to your year of registration.
5.6
If you progress from the Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences or one of the Diplomas to
an EMFSS degree, you must carry failed courses with you if they are compulsory courses on the
degree you are transferring to.
Any failed courses which are available but not compulsory on the degree you are transferring to,
may either:
be carried and retaken provided you have not exhausted the maximum number of attempts,
keeping the remaining number of attempts at the course; or
Failed courses which are not available on the degree you are transferring to must be discarded.

Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
5.7
If you are registered for the Access route and transfer to a degree under these Regulations having
failed a course common to that degree, the fail will not count towards the total permitted number of
attempts at that course.
Although absence from an examination will not count towards the number of attempts for that
course, if you have made an examination entry and are then absent, you will need to pay an
examination re-entry fee the next time you enter the examination.
All students
6.1
In line with the Regulations, you may decide when you are examined, the number of courses you try
each year and the order in which you decide to try each course. You do not have to be examined
each year.

6.8
You are allowed to take one additional non-credit bearing course as an Individual Course under the
Individual Courses Regulations in your final year provided that you do not take more than four other
courses in the same examination period.
The Individual Courses regulations for EMFSS are on the website:
www.londoninternational.ac.uk/regs
If you wish to supplement your degree study with an individual course you must submit a
completed individual course application form. The application form is on the EMFSS Individual
Courses page on our website. An individual course cannot be used as credit towards your
degree when taken during your degree registration.
6.9
For students who have registered for a degree in 2015-16 or earlier:
The Board of Examiners will consider if you are eligible for award of the degree through the
Standard Route when the following two conditions have been met:
you have attempted every element of the assessment for 12 full courses or the equivalent,
as specified in the structure for the degree (any APL awarded will count towards the 12
courses attempted), and
you have retaken all failed courses from previous years for which the maximum number of
attempts have not been exhausted, or, where the structure of the degree allows, you have
replaced an alternative for a failed course.
In addition, you must have met one of the following two conditions:
you have passed at least 10 full courses or the equivalent (any APL awarded will count
towards the total of 10 courses), and have chosen not to make a further attempt at either of
your two failed courses, or
you have passed at least 11 full courses or the equivalent (any APL awarded will count
towards the total of 11 courses)
For students who have registered for a degree in 2016-17 or later (including students
transferring to a degree from another programme in 2016-17):
The Board of Examiners will consider if you are eligible for award of the degree through the
Standard Route when the following three conditions have all been met:
You have attempted every element of the assessment for 12 full courses or the equivalent,
as specified in the structure for the degree (any APL awarded will count towards the 12
courses attempted), and
you have passed at least 11 full courses or the equivalent (any APL awarded will count
towards the total of 11 courses), and
20
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
you have retaken all failed courses from previous years for which the maximum number of
attempts have not been exhausted, or, where the structure of the degree allows, you have
replaced an alternative for a failed course.
6.10
The Board of Examiners will consider if you are eligible for award of the degree through the
Graduate Entry Route when you have attempted every element of the assessment for nine full
courses (or equivalent), and passed all nine full courses (or equivalent).
For information on how the degree is classified see the Scheme of Award in Appendix D:
Scheme of award.
6.11
When considering your eligibility for award of the degree, the Board of Examiners will give special
consideration if you have been absent from one or more examinations through illness or other
suitable cause.
6.12
Once the Board of Examiners decides that you are eligible for award of the degree, the degree will
be awarded and you will not be allowed to retake any failed courses or to swap any failed courses
with other courses.
6.13
Once the award and classification of the degree have been confirmed by the Board of Examiners,
you cannot refuse or decline the award or its classification. The decision of the Board of Examiners
is final.
for transfer to the Standard Route, you have passed two full courses of the Access route;
for transfer to either the Standard Route or Graduate Entry Route you already satisfy the
entrance requirements for the degree on the basis of other qualifications;
you have made an attempt at two full courses and have passed one and half courses of the
Access route;
or
or
21
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
or
and
you have not failed a course at the final attempt that is a prerequisite for a compulsory
course on the degree you want to transfer to.
6.17
You will be credited with courses previously passed on the Access route which are the same as, or
equivalent to, the courses available on the degree you transfer to.
6.18
If you transfer to a degree having already failed one or more courses, you will not carry those fails
with you. Failed courses which are available on the degree you are transferring to will be treated like
new courses when taken for the first time after transfer. If you have failed a course which is required
on the degree you transfer to, you must take this course again after transfer.
6.19
If you transfer to a degree carrying only one half course fail you must resit this failed course the first
time you enter for an examination on the degree.
swap the failed course for a another course which can fit at that point of the programme
structure.
22
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
6.24
You can choose to register for and resit an unnamed or named alternative course in any future
examination session within your remaining period of registration.
6.25
If you choose to swap your failed course for another course but also have outstanding fails at
compulsory courses, you must meet the requirements in regulation 6.22 and retake these failed
compulsory courses before or at the same time you are examined in the course you have
substituted.
6.26
If you have registered for a substitute course to replace the course you have failed, you will not be
permitted to return and reregister for the original course at any point during your registration.
See the Glossary for the definition of unnamed course and named alternative course.

Transfer of registration
This section applies both to transfer between different programmes and within the same
programme, unless indicated otherwise. Details of how to apply to transfer are in the Student
guide.
For entrance requirements, see the Requirements tab on each of the programme pages on our
website.
If you are registered on a Standard Route degree, you will receive APL as stated in Section
2 of these Regulations for 100 courses passed with a mark between 34 and 39. If you have
passed any 100 courses with a mark of 40 or above, the mark will be transferred directly on
to your new record. For 200 or 300 courses passed at 34 or above, the mark will be
transferred directly on to your new record.
If you are registered on a Graduate Entry Route degree or a Graduate Diploma/Diploma for
Graduates, all eligible passes with a mark of 34 or higher will have the mark transferred
directly on to your new record.
Some courses passed under the Old Regulations may have to be discarded on transfer if they
cannot be placed on the programme structure you are transferring to. The rules for discarding
courses can be found in regulations 7.37 - 7.46.
24
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
Transfer between degrees in the same Route (or Paths of the same degree)
7.7
You may transfer between the different EMFSS degrees in the Route that you are registered on (i.e.
Standard Route or Graduate Entry Route), and may be awarded credit, provided that:
you do not have to discard more than three full courses in total which you have previously
passed, and
you have not failed, at the final attempt, a course that is a prerequisite for a required course
on the degree you want to transfer to, and
this is allowed on the degree structure you want to transfer to, and
you are not yet eligible for award of the degree.
You may only transfer to a degree which is still available to new students. The only exception to this
is if you meet the conditions in regulation 7.2.
7.8
If you meet the conditions and want to transfer, you will need to confirm which degree (or Path
where applicable) you want to register on when completing continuing registration and submitting
payment of the annual continuing registration fee, and before completing the examination entry
process. Any change of degree or Path must be indicated at those times. You cannot transfer when
you have a live examination entry.
7.9
When you transfer you are allowed to discard up to three full courses you have already passed and
any number of failed courses. You can transfer more than once but cannot discard more than three
full passed courses in total during your registration. If you have already discarded three full passed
courses you may not transfer again if further discards are required.
The rules for discarding courses are in regulations 7.37 - 7.46.
25
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
you do not have to discard more than three full passed courses in total, and
you do not transfer credit for more than eight full passed courses in total, and
you have not failed, at the final attempt, a course that is a prerequisite for a required course
on the degree you want to transfer to.
7.11
If you are registered for a Standard Route degree you may apply to us to transfer to a Graduate
Entry Route degree provided that:
you already meet the entrance requirements for the Graduate Entry Route, and
you do not have to discard more than three full passed courses in total and
you do not transfer credit for more than six full passed courses in total, and
you have not failed, at the final attempt, a course that is a prerequisite for a required course
on the degree you want to transfer to, and
you have not entered the examination for a course that has a prerequisite for which you
have received APL whilst registered for the Standard Route. This is because you will have to
discard the APL on transfer to the Graduate Entry Route.
26
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
This regulation also applies if you are transferring to a degree from the Certificate of Higher
Education in Social Sciences, a Diploma or from passing MT1174 as an Individual Course.
the course is available on the degree to which you are transferring (or, in the case of APL
from an unnamed course, that this is allowed on that degree structure); and
7.17
If you transfer to a different degree through the Standard Route, an APL previously granted from a
named course may be used as one unnamed 100 course if the named course is not available on the
degree you are transferring to.
Credit awarded
7.18
Credits are awarded for named courses. However, if you are transferring to a degree through the
Standard Route you may claim credit for one unnamed 100 course if you have previously passed a
100 course which is not available on the degree you are transferring to (where the degree structure
allows). If you are credited with one unnamed 100 course, it will be placed at the point marked by
the black diamond symbol () on the individual degree structures. Credits for named and unnamed
courses may be used to meet prerequisites.
7.19
If you transfer you will not be allowed to enter or re-enter for a course (or equivalent course) that
you have previously passed and received credit for. The mark you achieved when you passed the
course will count towards the final classification of degree.
27
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
carry and retake the course (up to the maximum three attempts). You will be allowed the
same remaining number of attempts at the course, or
discard the course and register for an alternative optional course.
Failed courses which are not available on the degree you are transferring to must be discarded.
The rules for discarding courses are in paragraphs 7.37 - 7.46.
You will not be able to transfer to a degree where the failed course is a prerequisite for a
compulsory course.
ii.
If the failed course is a compulsory course on the degree you want to transfer to, you must
carry it forward to the new degree (subject to point i. above). This is only allowed if you can
also meet all the other requirements for the degree. The course will count towards the total
number of courses that must be taken to meet the requirements of the degree, and the most
recent mark obtained in the failed course may count towards the degree classification.
iii.
If the failed course is available as an option on the degree you want to transfer to, you may
either:
o
carry the failed course to the new degree. This is only allowed if you can also meet
all other requirements for the degree.
If you choose to carry the failed course, it will count towards the total number of courses that
must be taken to meet the requirements of the degree, and the most recent mark obtained in
the failed course may count towards the degree classification.
To transfer to a Graduate Entry Route degree:
i.
You will not be able to transfer to a degree where the failed course is a compulsory course.
No failed courses may be carried forward on transfer to a different degree and must be
discarded.

Moving from the LLB to BSc Accounting with Law or BSc Management with Law
7.24
If you have attempted the first year courses of the LLB and then wish to cancel your registration and
register for the BSc Accounting with Law or BSc Management with Law, the following options are
available:
If you were registered on the LLB (Old Regulations only) and you have achieved an overall
result of fail from the courses available in Selection Group F2, you may apply to register on
the BSc Accounting with Law or BSc Management with Law, but will not be awarded any
credit. When you take these courses as part of the BSc Accounting with Law or BSc
Management with Law, they will be treated as first attempts.
If you are registered for the LLB and have passed all of the courses available in Selection
Group F2 you may apply to register on the BSc Accounting with Law or BSc Management
with Law with credit for up to three full courses depending on the programme to which you
transfer. We will decide the amount of credit you will receive and will make this decision on a
case by case basis.
If you are registered for the LLB but you have failed one of the courses available in Selection
Group F2 you may apply to register on the BSc Accounting with Law or BSc Management
with Law with credit for up to two full courses. We will decide the amount of credit you will
receive and will make this decision on a case by case basis.
you do not have to discard more than one full course in total which you have previously
passed, and
you have not failed, at the final attempt, a course which is compulsory (and has no
alternatives) for the programme you want to transfer to, and
you satisfy the entrance requirements for the programme you want to transfer to.
If you are transferring from the Graduate Diploma in International Relations/Diploma for
Graduates (International Relations) you must ensure that you are able to satisfy the
mathematical programme specific entrance requirements needed for all the other Graduate
Diplomas. For entrance requirements, see the Requirements tab on your intended Graduate
Diploma programme.
If you are transferring to the Graduate Diploma in Mathematics, you will need to meet the
additional programme-specific entrance requirements given in regulation 7.6. You are also
advised that although this is not a formal entrance requirement, it is your responsibility to ensure
that before starting this programme your understanding of mathematics is already at least at the
standard of first year undergraduate degree study in mathematics and includes multivariate
calculus.
29
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
If you are transferring to the Graduate Diploma in Economics or are planning on taking 200 or
300 level courses with the prefix EC, you are advised that although not a formal entrance
requirement, it is your responsibility to ensure that your understanding of economics is already at
the standard of first year undergraduate degree study in economics before commencing your
studies.
7.27
You must apply to us if you want to transfer between Graduate Diplomas/Diploma for Graduates. If
you are registered on a Diploma for Graduates and want to transfer, you will be allowed to transfer
to the new award title of Graduate Diploma only.
Credits awarded
7.28
If you transfer between the Graduate Diplomas/Diplomas for Graduates you will be credited with
courses previously passed which are the same as (or equivalent to) those listed in the structure of
the relevant diploma, as long as the transfer takes place within the maximum period of registration.
See Appendix A for the programme structures.
7.29
If you cannot be credited with a course or retake a course on transfer because it is not available
(and has no equivalent course) on the Graduate Diploma that you are transferring to, this course
must be discarded.
The rules for discarding courses are in paragraphs 7.37 - 7.46.
Treatment of previously failed courses
7.30
If you transfer between the Graduate Diplomas/Diplomas for Graduates, you must carry any fails
with you if the courses are compulsory and have no alternatives on the programme you are
transferring to.
Failed courses that have alternative options available on the programme you are transferring to can
either:
be carried and retaken (provided you have not exhausted the maximum two examination
attempts), or
be changed to an alternative course, carrying the remaining number of examination attempts
at the course.
Failed courses which are not available on the Graduate Diploma you are transferring to must be
discarded.
30
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
Transfer to the Diploma in Economics or Diploma in Social Sciences from any other
EMFSS programme
7.34
Transfer to the Diploma in Economics or Diploma in Social Sciences is not allowed, as these
programmes are being withdrawn.
31
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
7.39
A course must be discarded if it:
cannot be credited, or
cannot be retaken on transfer because there is no option to take it (or no equivalent course
available which can be credited) on the programme you are transferring to.
7.40
For students transferring between or to degrees only:
You cannot discard passed courses unless you are transferring. Permission to discard both passed
and failed courses depends on the structure of the degree that you plan to transfer to as follows:
You will not be allowed to discard any course (either passed or failed) that is compulsory on
the degree you are transferring to.
You will not be allowed to discard or change any single passed half course if it can be paired
with another half course on the degree you are transferring to. If it cannot be paired then you
must contact us for permission to discard it.
You will not be allowed to discard or change a passed course that is one of two named
course options at a point on the degree.
You may discard a failed course that is one of two named course options at a point on the
degree, and take the other named option.
If the course is not named on the programme structure but is available (for example as an option in
a Selection group), you may choose whether to transfer or discard the course, as long as you do not
discard more than three full passed courses (or equivalent) in total.
7.41
For Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates students only:
You may discard one full course only. You will not be allowed to discard any course that is available
on the Graduate Diploma that you are transferring to.
7.42
Discarded courses will not count towards the total number of courses that you are required to take
for the programme you are registered on, and will not contribute towards the classification/grading
calculation unless the course is revived in a later transfer.
7.43
Discarded courses may normally be revived in later transfer as follows:
A passed course which has been discarded must be revived if you transfer to a degree or
Graduate Diploma which that course is available on.
A failed course which has been discarded must be revived if it is compulsory and has no
alternatives on the degree or Graduate Diploma you are transferring to. You will be allowed
the same remaining number of attempts.
A failed course which has been discarded and which is not compulsory on the degree or
Graduate Diploma you are transferring to can either be revived or, where possible, changed
to another option.
For degrees through the Standard Route only: if you transfer to a degree where a course is
compulsory and you have discarded APL for that course previously, the APL must be
32
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
revived. This can only be done in line with the maximum four APL courses that are allowed
on a degree.
7.44
A course that has been revived will no longer count towards the total permitted number of discarded
courses.
7.45
When you pay your continuing registration fee and when you make an examination entry you must
advise us if you are reviving any previously discarded courses.
7.46
If you transfer from the Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences or one of the Diplomas,
you must write to us through the Student Portal if you are reviving any previously discarded courses
when you pay the continuing registration fee.

1.1
The marking standards for all courses are the same as for College-based students of the University
of London sitting equivalent degree examinations.
1.2
100, 200 and 300 courses are marked to the same standard. For degree classification and
Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates grading purposes, 200 and 300 courses normally carry
more weight than 100 courses.
1.3
The Examiners will determine a percentage mark for each course attempted based on the following
scales:
Degree Class equivalent

2.1
If you are not eligible for award of the degree or Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates, you are
required to make a further attempt at all failed courses (provided the maximum number of attempts
has not been exhausted), or to substitute failed courses with alternative courses where permitted in
the relevant programme structure.
2.2
Once you are eligible for award of the degree or Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates, you will
not be permitted to make any further attempts at any failed courses or to substitute any failed
courses with alternative courses, even if you have not reached the maximum number of attempts
allowed.
2.3
In all cases, marks are based on those obtained at the latest attempt at the relevant course.
3.
3.1
Half courses are paired and averaged (rounded up to a whole number) to produce marks for
classification/grading purposes.
3.2
A fail in one half course of a pair counts as a half course fail in assessing the number of courses
passed.
3.3
100 half courses cannot be paired with 200 or 300 half courses.
100 courses
3.4
Courses are paired according to the following criteria in the order given.
1. Any two 100 half courses named together at one point in the programme structure are
paired.
2. If both have been taken, ST104A Statistics 1 + ST104B Statistics 2 are paired.
3. If both have been taken, MT105A Mathematics 1 + MT105B Mathematics 2 are paired.
4. After the above criteria have been applied, any remaining 100 half courses are paired
according to the marks awarded, as follows: the two half courses with the highest marks are
paired, then the two with the next highest marks.
200 and 300 courses
3.5
Courses are paired according to the following criteria in the order given.
1. Any two 200 or 300 half courses named together at one point in the programme structure
are paired.
87
Programme Regulations 201617 Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences
(BSc/Graduate Diploma/Diploma for Graduates)
2. If there are precisely two half courses from any particular Selection group, these are paired.
If there are more than two half courses from a Selection group, this rule does not apply to
that Selection group and the criteria below are applied.
3. If both have been taken, ST3133 Advanced Statistics: distribution theory + ST3134
Advanced Statistics: statistical inference are paired.
4. After the above criteria have been applied, any remaining 200 or 300 half courses are paired
according to the marks awarded, as follows: the two half courses with the highest marks are
paired, then those with the next highest marks, repeating until all half courses are paired.
Degrees through the Standard Route only
3.6
If you have failed one half course of a pair and are eligible for award of the degree, then the mark
for that pair of half courses will be the average of the marks obtained. This may result in either a
pass or a fail mark for the course as a whole. A half course fail will count on its own, along with any
other fail marks, for determining the class band of the degree as a whole.
See regulations 5.8 - 5.10 in Appendix D for how course and half course failures can affect the
class band.
3.7
Where APL has been granted for a half course of a pair, the mark for the pair will be the mark
obtained in the half course taken.
4.
See the mitigating circumstances page on our website for details of what mitigating
circumstances are and how to submit a request to us.
4.1
If you enter one or more examinations and experience difficulties immediately before or during the
examination period through illness or other adequate cause, you should immediately inform the
Examinations Office, and provide a supporting medical certificate or other official documentation for
the courses affected. The documentation must be received within the time period specified (see
Mitigating circumstances in Section 10 of the General Regulations).
4.2
If, despite difficulties as described in 4.1, you have attempted and passed your examination(s), the
pass received will stand.
4.3
If you have attempted but failed an examination because of difficulties as described in 4.1, and the
documentation you provided is accepted by the Board of Examiners, you may be given a result of
Attempt not to count for that examination. The attempt will not count and you will be allowed to take
the paper again without academic penalty. The attempt will not count towards the maximum number
of attempts permitted.

If you have not attended an examination because of difficulties as described in 4.1, and the
documentation you have provided is accepted by the Board of Examiners, you may be given a
result of Absence certified for that examination. The attempt will not count and you will be allowed to
take the paper again without academic penalty. The attempt will not count towards the maximum
number of attempts permitted.
4.5
Although a course which receives a result of Absence certified or Attempt not to count is not
counted as one of the permitted attempts, it will be treated as if it is a resit in terms of the number of
courses you are allowed to sit in future examination sessions.
4.6
If you receive a result of Attempt not to count or of Absence certified for a course which is a
prerequisite for a 200 or 300 course, you may take the 200 or 300 course at the same time as
retaking the prerequisite course provided all other prerequisites are satisfied.

be awarded and you will not be permitted to make any further attempts at any failed courses or to
substitute any failed courses with alternative courses.

and passed 10, you will need to contact the University and advise if you want to continue with
your registration and make further attempts at one or both of the failed courses.

you cannot refuse or decline the award or its classification. The decision of the Board of Examiners
is final.

If you have progressed from the Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences, the Diploma in
Economics, the Diploma in Social Sciences or Access route, or have transferred from another
EMFSS degree programme, you will carry the marks already awarded in line with the Regulations.

lead to an award one class lower than that indicated by your marks according to the classification
scheme (given in paragraph 6.4 below).

fails under 5.8 and 5.9 are applied, then a Pass Classification will be awarded, provided the Board
of Examiners is satisfied that all other regulations have been fulfilled.

Degree classification
6.1
200 and 300 courses normally carry more weight than 100 courses. Marks for 200 and 300 courses
are counted individually and in some cases as an average, depending on the number of 100
courses taken and the number of APLs granted. 100 courses count for up to two marks only.

6.2
If you are eligible for the award of a degree through the Standard Route, you will be classified
according to the classification scheme (given in 6.4 below) on the basis of nine marks, and, where
appropriate, the aggregate of those nine marks.
6.3
The nine marks on which the classification is based are drawn from the following.
1. The marks for all 200 and 300 courses considered individually.
2. If eight 200 and 300 courses and four 100 courses have been attempted, the ninth mark is
the average of the best three 100 courses.
3. If seven 200 and 300 courses and five 100 courses have been attempted, the eighth mark is
the average of the best two 100 courses, and the ninth mark is the average of the next best
two 100 courses.
4. Where you have been granted APL from one or more 100 courses and have taken 100
courses to bring your total of granted APL and 100 courses to four then:
a. if you have been granted APL for one course, the ninth mark is calculated in the
usual way
b. if you have been granted APL for two courses, the ninth mark is the average of the
two 100 courses taken
c. if you have been granted APL for three courses, the ninth mark is the 100 course
taken
d. if you have been granted APL for four courses, the ninth mark is the average of all
the 200 and 300 courses taken.
5. Where you have been granted APL from one or more 100 courses and have taken 100
courses to bring your total of granted APL and 100 courses to five then:
a. if you have been granted APL for one course, the eighth mark is the average of the
best two 100 courses and the ninth mark is the average of the remaining two 100
courses
b. if you have been granted APL for two courses, the eighth mark is the average of the
best two 100 courses taken, and the ninth mark is the remaining 100 course taken
c. if you have been granted APL for three courses, both the eighth and ninth marks are
the marks of the two 100 courses taken
d. if you have been granted APL for four courses, the eighth mark is the mark of the
single 100 course taken and the ninth mark is the average of all the 200 and 300
courses taken.

taken, the marks for the 100 courses will be subject to an averaging process described below to
create two marks to be used for classification.
8.2
If you are eligible for the award of a degree through the Graduate Entry Route having attempted,
and passed in, nine full courses or the equivalent, you will be classified on the marks treated as
indicated in 8.3 below, according to the classification scheme (given in 8.4 below) and, where
appropriate, the aggregate of all nine individual marks.
8.3
The marks on which the classification is based are determined as follows:
1. If two 100 courses have been attempted, the marks for those courses will count individually.
The marks for the seven 200 and 300 courses attempted will also count individually.
2. If three 100 courses have been attempted, the lowest two marks will be averaged and the
third mark will count individually. The marks for the six 200 and 300 courses will count
individually.
3. If four 100 courses have been attempted, the highest two marks will be averaged and the
remaining two marks averaged. The marks for the five 200 and 300 courses will count
individually.
