A guide on how to select final year course units for the academic term of 2012/13

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this booklet was correct at the time of printing, changes in staffing means that it is sometimes necessary for discipline area or the relevant School to either cancel course units or teach course units within different semesters.

We hope you will find the information in this booklet useful in the run-up to examinations as well as using it for course unit selection for next academic session. You will find it is divided into two main elements: 1. Examination information; 2. Registration information for the next session.

EXAMINATIONS The summer examination period will take place from Wednesday 16 May till Wednesday 6 June 2012 inclusive. Your examination timetable is now available on your Student Portal via: http://portal.manchester.ac.uk Please note that misreading your examination timetable is not accepted as an excuse for absence from an examination. The August resit examination will be take place from Monday 20 August till Friday 31 August 2012 inclusive. All students must keep this period free. Details of the Second Year Examination Conventions are on the next page. Please note that your second year marks will count towards the classification of your Final Examination. The second year is weighted as 25% towards your final degree classification. It is based on your results after the first attempt: improved performance in re-sits does NOT count towards your second year average. Other information on examinations and regulations can also be found in the BA (Econ) Programme Handbook (pages 30-37 and 73-78), available from the School Undergraduate Office (G001) and from the School Intranet at: http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/intranet/ug/handbooks/documents/BAEconhandbook201112_000.pdf ILLNESS AND OTHER PROBLEMS Shau Chan, BA Econ Programme Administrator or Bernadette Julien, BA Econ UG secretary in the School Undergraduate Office (Arthur Lewis Building, G001) should be notified immediately of any illness or other mitigating circumstances affecting the May/June examination performance a mitigating circumstances form must be completed and in all cases supporting evidence must be produced where appropriate. Mitigating circumstances form is available from the School UG office and is also downloadable via: http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/intranet/ug/useful/ Please read carefully the Guidance for Students in particular Nature of mitigating circumstances points 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. It is most important that before the May/June examination period (except for circumstances that arise during this period), that you notify either Shau or Bernadette in the School Undergraduate Office (Arthur Lewis building room G001) of any such problems. Please do not wait until the results have been published before informing us of any such circumstances. Retrospective evidence cannot be accepted after the examination period and after the publication of results. Do not hesitate to provide information: this will be treated seriously and in the strictest confidence. EXAMINATION RESULTS The confirmed results are expected to be published early July (exact date will be confirmed nearer the time) and you will be able to view your results on the Campus Solutions/Self Service via the My Manchester Portal at: https://my.manchester.ac.uk/ If you have any failed marks which are either core units for your pathway(s) or are non compensatable, you will you be able to access exact details of your resits and/or first sits on the system. Full instructions on how to view your confirmed grades will be sent to your University email account once the Exam Board has met in early July.

CONVENTIONS FOR THE BA (ECON) EXAMINATIONS SECOND HONOURS EXAMINATION To pass the Second Examination as a whole a student must have: (i) Passes in course units totalling 100 units (out of 120 units) - the pass mark being 40% or more; (ii) An aggregate of 480 to compensate for failed course units not exceeding a total unit rating of 20 units (Note: core units for Accounting, Finance, Business Studies, Economics and Development Studies pathways cannot be compensated see below) (iii) A minimum of 30% in a failed course unit. Progression relative to students specialising in Accounting, Accounting & Finance, Accounting & Economics, Economics & Finance or Finance - A student who fails (that is attains a mark of less than 40%) in a mandatory core unit cannot compensate for such a failure and will not be allowed to progress to the succeeding year for any of these pathways; - Core units for progression to the third year are: Accounting BMAN21020, BMAN21040, BMAN21061 and BMAN20081; Finance BMAN23000, BMAN20072 and BMAN20081. Progression relative to students specialising in Economics Single specialisation - A student who fails (that is attains a mark of less than 40%) in a core unit cannot normally compensate for such a failure and will not normally be allowed to progress to the succeeding year; - Core units for progression to the third year are: (ECON20351, ECON20352, ECON20401 and ECON20402) AND either (ECON20281 & ECON20292) or *ECON20110 * Students who have passed either (ECON10001 & ECON10132) or (ECON10071 & ECON10072) must take ECON20110 either in Year 2 or in Year 3. Students who have passed ECON10061 & ECON10062 must take ECON20281 & ECON20292 in Year 2 and take ECON30370 in Year 3. Joint specialisation with Accounting, Finance or Business Studies - A student who fails (that is attains a mark of less than 40%) in a core unit cannot normally compensate for such a failure and will not normally be allowed to progress to the succeeding year; - Core units for progression to the third year are: (ECON20351 & ECON20401) and (an additional 20 units of level two ECON course units). Joint specialisation with all other areas of study (Criminology, Development Studies, Economic & Social History, Politics or Sociology) - A student needs to pass at least 40 units of level two ECON course units. Progression relative to students taking Economics course units - Where a student passes the year as a whole, including where appropriate resits, but fails (that is has a mark of less than 40%) courses which are either area or individual course prerequisites, then progression to the succeeding year would apply but the failed prerequisite units may have the following consequences: Failed area prerequisites would mean that the student would not normally be able to pursue the area of study relevant to the area prerequisites. Note: this refers specifically to Business Studies, Development Studies and Economics specialists. Failed individual course prerequisites would limit the choice of courses available in the succeeding year as those courses for which individual course prerequisites are required would not normally be available to the student. 3

Progression relative to students specialising in Business Studies (single or joint) - A student who fails (that is attains a mark of less than 40%) in a core unit cannot normally compensate for such a failure and will not normally be allowed to progress to the succeeding year; - Core units for progression to the third year are: BMAN20600, ECON20341 & ECON20342. Progression relative to students specialising in Development Studies (single or joint) - A student who fails (that is attains a mark of less than 40%) in a core unit cannot normally compensate for such a failure and will not normally be allowed to progress to the succeeding year; - Core units for progression to the third year are: ECON20321, ECON20332 & (either POLI20511, SOAN20822 or SOCY20162). ******************************************************************************************** Candidates may resit in August any paper(s) failed in January or May/June examinations. Students who pass the second year in May/June with up to 20 units which have been compensated, may be required to take re-sits in August/September, where the units are pre-requisites for later year units, despite passing the year overall. If, after the application of compensation rules and/or any resits, students have only passed in course units totalling 110 or 100 units without compensation, they will have to proceed to the Ordinary Degree in the Third Year. However, in order to regain Honours status, the Board of Examiners will allow students to carry 10 or 20 units of Second Examination course units into the Third Year in addition to the full set of course units for that year. To complete that year successfully, the student must satisfy the usual criteria for the year and reach the unit pass mark for these additional units. Students who fail carried units from the first year or fail more than 20 units of second year courses will proceed to the Ordinary Degree of Bachelor if they meet the following requirements:

reach the overall pass mark (40%) averaged over second year units totalling 100 units (where a student has taken 120 units, the 100 units of highest marks will be used for this calculation but not including any carried units from the previous year); reach the pass mark in individual units totalling at least 60 units; and reach the compensatable fail mark in all remaining units.

STUDENTS WHO DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS STATED ABOVE WILL BE EXCLUDED. Second Examination results count towards the classification of your Final Degree. The average mark for the second year is weighted as 25% towards your final degree classification. This is based on the results after the first attempt: improved performance in resits will not count towards your overall mark for the second year. If a student needs to take resits, the original mark is included in this calculation and not the resit mark. This is to ensure that the resit system is fair on those who have passed modules at the first attempt.

FINAL HONOURS EXAMINATION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNDERGRADUATE REGULATIONS FROM THE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES WEBSITE AT: http://www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/humnet/tandl/undergraduate/undergraduateregulations/ 1. OVERALL MARK The overall mark for a programme is a weighted average of the overall marks for different years of the programme. The weights are: Year 1: Zero Year 2: 25% (using the original fail marks where resits were necessary) Year 3: 75% 2. CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING THE FINAL CLASS First, we will look at your average overall mark: For Class 1: an overall mark of not less than 70.0%. passes in at least 100 units of the 120 units required for the final year. For Class 2i: an overall mark of less than 70.0% but not less than 60.0%. passes in at least 100 units of the 120 units required for the final year. For Class 2ii: an overall mark of less than 60.0% but not less than 50.0%. passes in at least 100 units of the 120 units required for the final year. For Class 3: an overall mark of less than 50.0% but not less than 40.0%. passes in at least 80 units of the 120 units required for the final year. If you obtain an overall mark in the range for the class but obtain less than the specified number of passes for the final year you will be awarded the next lower class, or for Class 3 see 3. (Ordinary degree) below. If you dont meet the above requirements, we will then look at the following: For Class 1: an overall mark of less than 70.0% but not less than 68.0%. passes in at least 100 units of the 120 units required for the final year. at least 80 units of the 120 units for the final year in the range required for the Class (not less than 70.0%). For Class 2i: an overall mark of less than 60.0% but not less than 58.0%. passes in at least 100 units of 120 units required for the final year. at least 80 units of the 120 units for the final year in or above the range required for the Class (less than 70.0% but not less than 60.0%). 5

For Class 2ii: an overall mark of less than 50.0% but not less than 48.0%. passes in at least 100 units of 120 units required for the final year. at least 80 units of the 120 units for the final year in or above the range required for that Class (less than 60.0% but not less than 50.0%). For Class 3: an overall mark of less than 40.0% but not less than 38.0%. passes in at least 80 units of 120 units required for the final year. at least 80 units of the 120 units for the final year in or above the range required for that Class (less than 50.0% but not less than 40.0%). 3. ORDINARY DEGREE The Ordinary Degree of Bachelor will be awarded to a student who at the end of the honours programme obtains an overall mark of not less than 40.0%, averaged over final-year units totalling 60 credits, and obtains at least half of those credits with a mark of not less than 40.0%. The Ordinary Degree of Bachelor will be awarded to a student who at the end of the Ordinary programme obtains an overall mark of not less than 40.0% averaged over final-year units totalling 100 credits, and obtains at least half of the credits with a mark of not less than 40.0%.

CHOICE OF THIRD YEAR UNITS For Honours degree students, you are required to select 120 units from the Level Three Programme Structure for study and examination in the third year. You can select one or two major pathways of study. If you select one pathway, you will need at least 80 units. If you choose two pathways you will need at least 50 units in each area. For Ordinary Degree students, you are required to select any 100 units within the Level Three Programme Structure. Your choice of pathway will most likely be defined by the choices you made for your second year and the area prerequisites you have therefore completed for pathways within the Level Three Programme Structure. Taking Level Two Course Units Students are only permitted to take up to 20 units of level two/second year units which either appears within Level Two Programme Structure or as Free Choice Course Unit. Students wishing to seek permission to take more than 20 units of level two/second year units in their final year should seek advice from the BA (Econ) Programme Director or Programme Tutors. Please also refer to regulation 10 of the Undergraduate degree regulations in the current BA Econ Programme Handbook for details and via the School Intranet at: http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/intranet/ug/handbooks/documents/BAEconhandbook201112_000. pdf (page 30). If you are in any doubt about which units to choose, you should consult the Counsellors in each discipline (see page 11). Further information about the syllabus for individual course units can be accessed on the web at: http://courses.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/ Please note that course units with a quota (marked Q in the schedules of courses). There are a limited number of spaces available on these units and you are strongly advised to register for these courses as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

FREE CHOICE COURSE UNITS Final year students will only be permitted to select a free choice course unit if it is a continuation of a course unit taken in the second year. You will not be allowed to select free choice course unit if you had not taken one in the second year or select any units offered by the Manchester Leadership Programme. This is due to the equal and considerable weighting attached to each individual third-year unit in determining the final BA Econ Degree classification. Third year students who did not take a free choice in the second year, will only be given permission to select a free choice unit in their final year in exceptional circumstances and by permission from the BA Econ Programme Director. If you wish to take a free choice course unit, you should complete a free choice course unit form*, which is available from the School Undergraduate Office, Arthur Lewis G001 or alternatively you can download this form from the BA Econ Blackboard Page and from the School Undergraduate Student Intranet at: http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/intranet/ug/useful/ Please read the guidelines and return the completed form to the School Undergraduate Office by Friday 29 June 2012 - make sure that you receive approval from the External School/ Discipline concerned and by asking them to sign the bottom of the form. It is very important that you find out for yourself the attendance and examination requirements of the unit concerned. Once you have received confirmation that you can take a free choice course unit of your choice then you can register for this unit online (with the exception of LEAP and BMAP* units) from mid July.

BA Econ course unit selection checklist It is your responsibility to choose the correct course units that are within your pathway and programme structure. Please note the following points when making your final year course unit selection. Your choice of course units represents your final proposed decision; There are, to the best of your knowledge no timetable lecture and tutorial clashes; There should be an appropriate balance between first and second semester course units, a 60-60, 50-70 or 70-50 split. You should count year-long course units as 10 units per semester. If you are taking either BMAN30190 or BMAN31000 (both 30 units year long courses) you should count this as 15 units per semester; Course units available in the first semester are designated by the suffix digit 1, those in the second semester by the digit 2 and those covering both semesters by the digit 0. Your course unit selection meets your requirements and you have made sure that you have chosen all the basic core units required for your chosen pathway(s); You have the appropriate subject pre-requisite(s) for the course unit you have chosen; You have chosen at least 80 units in one area if you are taking a single specialism or at least 50 units in each area if you are taking a joint specialism. If a course unit appears within two pathways, you should count this under one pathway only (eg, ECON30451 appears under both Development Studies and Economics). In this case you should count this course unit within one pathway and not both. You cannot duplicate or overlap any courses that appears under two pathways; If you are taking level two course units which appear either within the Level Three Programme Structure or as Free Choice Course Units, you should make sure that you select up to 20 units of these course units. Please refer to regulation 10 under Undergraduate degree regulations in your BA Econ Programme Handbook for full details.
