18 General Regulations for Graduate Diplomas and other Courses requiring Graduate Entry For admission to courses in this section of the Calendar, a first degree or equivalent qualification is required. These qualifications are typically for graduates or equivalent, but the outcomes are not of postgraduate level. The University confers the following awards by the authority of Senate under Ordinances 3 and 5 in accordance with the following Regulation 18.1. Instructional Awards Additional Teaching Qualification Graduate Diploma Professional Graduate Diploma Notes 1 Throughout these regulations, non-consecutive study includes part-time

study and distance learning. 2 Decisions on admission are taken by Course Directors (or nominee) 3 Decisions on awards are taken by Boards of Study on behalf of the Senate. 4 All decisions taken by the Boards of Study, acting on behalf of Senate, shall

subsequently be reported to Senate. 5 All decisions taken by Boards of Examiners acting on behalf of the relevant

Board of Study shall subsequently be reported to that Board. 6 Where reference is made in Regulations to information in Course

Handbooks, that information shall have been approved by the relevant Board of Study.

7 In interpreting these regulations, regard should be had to the University’s Policy and Procedures for Teaching and Learning and, where appropriate, Course Handbooks. Students should also have regard to the Regulations contained in Part 1 of the University Calendar.

8 In the unlikely event of any conflict between the Regulations and other University publications including Course Handbooks, Regulations take precedence.

1

18.1 General Regulations for Graduate Diplomas and other Courses requiring graduate entry [The following General Regulations should be read in conjunction with the regulations governing specific courses] Admission

18 .1.1 Applicants shall normally: (i) possess a degree from a United Kingdom University; or (ii) possess other qualifications deemed, by the Course Director (or

nominee) acting on behalf of Senate, to be equivalent to (i) above; or (iii) be deemed, by the Course Director(or nominee) acting on behalf of

Senate, to have achieved an academic standard equivalent to (i) above.

In all cases, applicants whose first language is not English, shall be required to demonstrate an appropriate level of competence in the English language.

18.1.2 Applicants who satisfy the provisions of Regulation 18.1.1 may, in addition, be required to have had a period of relevant experience acceptable to the Senate. Credit Transfer and Exemption

18.1.3 The relevant Course Director (or nominee) may admit applicants and/or approve exemption from part of a course by credit transfer or RPL provided this is done in accordance with University procedures and against criteria defined on a course by course basis. Credit granted for credit transfer or RPL may only be used once and, when used to gain exemption, will normally relate to achievements within 5 years of registration on a University of Strathclyde programme. Exemption granted on the basis of credit transfer or RPL will be allowed primarily where students can demonstrate that the relevant specific learning outcomes have been achieved (i.e. primarily for specific rather than general credit). The extent of any allowed exemption shall be stated in course regulations and shall preferably be no greater than 34% and normally not exceed 50% of the credits appropriate to the course. Exceptionally, by formal resolution, the Senate may approve up to 67% exemption in special circumstances. Where any such exemption is granted, the Board of Study, acting on behalf of Senate, may approve an appropriate reduction in the minimum period of study. Minimum Periods of Study

18.1.4 The minimum period of study shall normally be as follows: For full-time study Additional Teaching Qualification (Secondary) 20 weeks Additional Teaching Qualification (Primary) 18 weeks Graduate Diploma 9 months Professional Graduate Diploma 9 months For non-consecutive study, the minimum period of study shall be the learning equivalent of the full-time study period required taking account of the conditions under which the student will work. The overall duration of study will normally be greater than for full-time study.

2

Maximum Periods of Study

18.1.5 Unless specifically stated otherwise in the relevant course regulations, students shall be required to complete their course including the submission of any dissertation, design or report within a prescribed period from the date of the student’s registration as follows: For full-time study Additional Teaching Qualification (Secondary) 21 months Additional Teaching Qualification (Primary) 12 months Graduate Diploma 24 months Professional Graduate Diploma 21 months For non-consecutive study Additional Teaching Qualification (Secondary) 42 months elapsed time Additional Teaching Qualification (Primary) 24 months elapsed time Graduate Diploma 48 months elapsed time Professional Graduate Diploma 36 months elapsed time Exceptionally, the maximum period of study may be extended by Senate on the recommendation of the Board of Study. Mode of Study

18.1.6 Courses may be offered on a full-time and/or non-consecutive basis. At the discretion of the relevant Board of Study on the recommendation of the relevant Course Director (or nominee), a student may transfer from full-time to non-consecutive study and vice-versa where an appropriate course is available, at which time the relevant minimum and maximum periods of study will be reviewed. Place of Study

18.1.7 Except where Senate has approved distance learning arrangements for off campus delivery, study shall normally be undertaken within the University or within an institution or agency approved by Senate for the purpose (see Regulation 20.6 and University Guidelines and Procedures for collaborative provision leading to awards or joint awards of the University). Course Structure and Curriculum

18.1.8 Each candidate for an award must follow the curriculum as prescribed in the relevant course regulations. This shall be set out in the course regulations and shall indicate which classes are compulsory or optional. The Senate on the recommendation of the relevant Board of Study may amend these from time to time. The curriculum of every student must be approved in advance by the relevant Course Director or equivalent acting on behalf of the Board of Study. Where a pass in a particular class is a necessary condition for progress or for an award, this shall be clearly stated in the relevant course regulations. The choice of classes may be subject to constraints of timetabling and may also be influenced by professional requirements as well as by a student’s entrance qualifications or pre-requisite classes passed.

3

18.1.9 The curriculum may include a design or other project or the submission of a dissertation. Course delivery, materials, assessed work and oral examination shall be in English unless stated otherwise in individual course regulations and published in the Course Handbook. The University cannot guarantee that all optional classes will be available in any given academic year.

18.1.10 All courses shall be modular and credit rated in accordance with the University Awards Framework in Regulation 18.1.11. Individual classes shall be assigned a level based on expected learning outcomes and a credit rating based on the volume of learning required.

18.1.11 The structure of instructional courses shall normally accord with the following table: Award Credit

Requirements Minimum Level Requirement

Graduate Diploma 120 Graduate entry and 90 credits at Level 4

Professional Graduate Diploma

minimum 120 Graduate entry and all credits at Level 4

Additional Teaching Qualification

30 - 80 Graduate entry and all credits at Level 4

Note: For a typical student one credit equates to approximately 10 hours of total student effort. Dissertation

18.1.12 Where a dissertation is required, a student will normally be expected to have performed satisfactorily in the taught components of the course before being permitted to proceed to the dissertation. The dissertation shall be of a length and standard approved by the Board of Study and shall normally be submitted by a date approved by the Board of Study and published in the appropriate Course Handbook.

18.1.13 Any dissertation submitted under the provisions of Regulation 18.1.12 must be written in English. Exceptionally, having regard to the nature and content of the dissertation, the Board of Study concerned, acting on behalf of Senate, may permit submission in another language, in which case a translation of the abstract as a minimum into English must accompany the dissertation. Attendance and Performance

18.1.14 Every applicant admitted to a course of study shall be required to attend regularly and to perform satisfactorily the work of each class in their curriculum. Students have an obligation to inform the University Registry at the first reasonable opportunity of any medical or other circumstances which might adversely affect their attendance, performance and/or ability to study. A student who, in the opinion of the Head(s) of the Department(s) (or nominee(s)) offering a class, does not satisfy the requirements as to attendance and to performance and having been informed in writing, shall not be entitled to take the examination in the subject of that class and shall

4

be so informed. The names of such students shall be reported immediately to the relevant Board of Study. A student may subsequently be permitted by the Course Director (or nominee) to take the examination in the subject of the class at the next available opportunity subject to satisfactory completion of appropriate course work. Examinations and Assessment

18.1.15 The Board of Examiners shall consist of not less than four persons including an External Examiner and academic staff responsible for the conduct of the course. It shall normally meet under the Convenership of the Course Director or Head of Department.

18.1.16 Students shall normally complete the assessments during the academic year in which the classes were undertaken unless permitted by the relevant Board of Study to postpone the assessment.

18.1.17 Classes shall be assessed by (i) coursework assignments; or (ii) written examinations; or (iii) oral examinations; or (iv) any combination of the above unless specified otherwise in the relevant Course Handbook. Except where a course includes an integrative/reflective class that will draw on work in other classes, each item of work may only be assessed in one class.

18.1.18 Candidates are required to pass written and oral examinations and to perform to the satisfaction of the Board of Examiners in the course work, and where required, in the dissertation or project.

18.1.19 A student who is deemed to have failed an assessment or who has been debarred in terms of Regulation 18.1.14 shall normally have one further opportunity to be re-assessed on a similar basis or by such other means as the Department(s) offering the class may decide. The nature of re-assessment shall be identified in module descriptors and/or Course Handbooks. The attempt shall normally be made at the next available diet of examinations.

18.1.20 Notwithstanding Regulation 18.1.19, Boards of Examiners may exceptionally permit alternative forms of re-assessment for a class where they consider it to be in a student’s interest. The Board of Examiners may also require the student to re-attend the class.

18.1.21 The Board of Examiners may discount an attempt for a class where appropriate medical or other evidence has been provided subject to report to the relevant Board of Study.

18.1.22 At the discretion of the Board of Examiners or Course Director (or nominee), and, where appropriate, in conjunction with the External Examiner, a student may be required to attend and participate in an oral examination. Award of Credits

18.1.23 A student who satisfies the Board of Examiners in a class will be awarded the number of credits for that class. Progress of Students

18.1.24 Details of any required minimum level of performance to permit a student to progress are shown in individual course regulations hereafter.

5

Where a course is available on a non-consecutive basis, progress requirements shall be specified in the relevant course regulations. Where credits in particular classes are required for progress, these shall be specified in the relevant course regulations.

18.1.25 Subject to prior approval of the Senate, Boards of Study may permit a Board of Examiners to apply compensation procedures according to prescribed criteria. In such cases, the criteria shall be detailed in the Course Handbooks.

18.1.26 The Board of Examiners shall report to the appropriate Board of Study which, acting on behalf of Senate, shall ratify one of the following: (i) award of the appropriate diploma or other qualification with

distinction; (ii) award of the appropriate diploma or other qualification with merit; (iii) award of the appropriate diploma or other qualification; (iv) progress to subsequent stages of the course; (v) withholding of the award of the diploma or other qualification pending

further study or submission/resubmission of assignments; (vi) transfer or termination of registration. Transfer of Registration, Suspension and Withdrawal

18.1. 27 Where a candidate has failed to satisfy the Board of Examiners, the Board of Study, acting on behalf of Senate and in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Examiners, may (i) suspend a student from attendance at classes but require them to

undertake assessments in accord with Regulations 18.1.19 – 18.1.22 until the required number of credits and necessary passes have been obtained to allow the student to proceed to the next stage/year of the course; or

(ii) recommend the award (as appropriate); or (iii) terminate the student’s registration and require the student to

withdraw.

18.1.28 On the recommendation of the relevant Course Director (or nominee), the Board of Study may permit a student to undertake voluntary suspension for the whole or part of an academic year or transfer to non-consecutive study subject to this mode of study being available.

18.1.29 Notwithstanding Regulation 18.1.19, a student who is reported to the relevant Board of Study under Regulation 18.1.14 or Regulation 5.5.5 for persistent non-attendance at classes, in accordance with published Faculty procedures, may have their registration terminated and be required to withdraw from the course.

18.1.30 A student may be required to withdraw from a course as a consequence of academic dishonesty or unprofessional conduct. Such a decision would be taken in consequence of a disciplinary hearing as provided for in Regulations 5.4 and 5.5. Appeals against Transfer of Registration, Suspension, Termination, Withdrawal or Award Classification

18.1.31 A student who has been required to transfer registration or is suspended from attendance at classes or is required to withdraw under the provisions of Regulation 18.1.27 - 18.1.30 may appeal to the relevant Board of Study for reconsideration of the case.

6

7

18.1.32 A student may appeal to the relevant Board of Study for reconsideration of the classification of the award. Such an appeal must be submitted and the outcome of any such appeal must be decided upon before the student’s award is confirmed.

18.1.33 The grounds for appeals under Regulations 18.1.31 and 18.1.32 may be any of the following: (i) that there were procedural irregularities in the conduct of the

Postgraduate Study

19 General Regulations for Instructional Masters Degrees, Postgraduate Diplomas and Postgraduate Certificates The University confers the following awards by the authority of the Senate under Ordinances 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with the following Regulation 19.1. Instructional Degrees [Degrees with a predominant or significant instructional content] Master of Architecture (MArch) Master of Arts (MA) Master of Business Administration (MBA) Master of Communications Management (MCM) Master of Education (MEd) Master of Environmental Studies (MEnvS) Master of International Management (MIM) Master of Laws (LLM) Master of Letters (MLitt) Master of Science (MSc) Master of Technology Management (MTM) Instructional Diplomas and Certificates Postgraduate Diploma, Postgraduate Certificate Notes 1 Throughout these regulations, non-consecutive study includes part-

time study and distance learning. 2 Decisions on admission are taken by Course Directors (or nominee) 3 Decisions on awards are taken by Boards of Study on behalf of the

Senate. 4 All decisions taken by the Boards of Study, acting on behalf of

Senate, shall subsequently be reported to Senate. 5 All decisions taken by Boards of Examiners acting on behalf of the

relevant Board of Study shall subsequently be reported to that Board. 6 Where reference is made in Regulations to information in Course

Handbooks, that information shall have been approved by the relevant Board of Study.

7 In interpreting these regulations, regard should be had to the University’s Policy and Procedures for Teaching and Learning and, where appropriate, Course Handbooks. Students shall also have regard to the Regulations contained in Part 1 of the University Calendar.

8 In the unlikely event of any conflict between the Regulations and other University publications including Course Handbooks, Regulations take precedence.

19.1 General Regulations for Postgraduate Awards by Instruction [The following General Regulations should be read in conjunction with the regulations governing specific courses] Admission

19.1.1 Applicants shall normally: (i) possess a degree (or in the case of direct entry to a Masters

programme a first or second class honours degree) from a United Kingdom University; or

(ii) possess other qualifications deemed, by the Course Director (or nominee) acting on behalf of Senate, to be equivalent to (i) above; or

(iii) be deemed, by the Course Director (or nominee) acting on behalf of Senate, to have achieved an academic standard equivalent to (i) above


19.1.2 Applicants who satisfy the provisions of Regulation 19.1.1 may, in addition, be required to have had a period of relevant experience acceptable to the Senate. Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

19.1.3 The relevant Course Director (or nominee) may admit applicants and/or approve exemption from part of a course by credit transfer or RPL provided this is done in accordance with University procedures and against criteria defined on a course by course basis. Credit granted for credit transfer or RPL may only be used once and, when used to gain exemption, will normally relate to achievements within 5 years of registration on a University of Strathclyde programme. Exemption granted on the basis of credit transfer or RPL will be allowed primarily where students can demonstrate that the relevant specific learning outcomes have been achieved (i.e. primarily for specific rather than general credit). The extent of any allowed exemption shall be stated in course regulations and shall preferably be no greater than 34% and normally not exceed 50% of the credits appropriate to the course. Exceptionally, by formal resolution, the Senate may approve up to 67% exemption in special circumstances. Where any such exemption is granted, the Board of Study, acting on behalf of Senate, may approve an appropriate reduction in the minimum period of study. Minimum Periods of Study

19.1.4 The minimum period of study shall normally be as follows: For full-time study Masters by full-time study 12 months PG Diploma by full-time study 8 months PG Certificate by full-time study 4 months For non-consecutive study, the minimum period of study shall be the learning equivalent of the full-time study period required taking account of the conditions under which the student will work. The overall duration of study will normally be greater than for full-time study.

27

Maximum Periods of Study

19.1.5 Unless specifically stated otherwise in the relevant course regulations, students shall be required to complete their course including the submission of any dissertation, design or report within a prescribed period from the date of the student’s registration as follows: For full-time study Masters by full-time study 36 months PG Diploma by full-time study 24 months PG Certificate by full-time study 12 months For non-consecutive study Masters by non-consecutive study 60 months elapsed time PG Diploma by non-consecutive study 48 months elapsed time PG Certificate by non-consecutive study 24 months elapsed time Exceptionally, the maximum period of study may be extended by Senate on the recommendation of the Board of Study. Mode of Study

19.1.6 Courses may be offered on a full-time and/or non-consecutive basis. At the discretion of the relevant Board of Study on the recommendation of the relevant Course Director (or nominee), a student may transfer from full-time to non-consecutive study and vice-versa where an appropriate course is available, at which time the relevant minimum and maximum periods of study will be reviewed. Place of Study

19.1.7 Except where Senate has approved distance learning arrangements for off campus delivery, study shall normally be undertaken within the University or within an institution or agency approved by Senate for the purpose (see Regulation 20.6 and University Guidelines and Procedures for collaborative provision leading to awards or joint awards of the University). Course Structure and Curriculum

19.1.8 Each candidate for an award must follow the curriculum as prescribed in the relevant course regulations. This shall be set out in the course regulations and shall indicate which classes are compulsory or optional. The Senate on the recommendation of the relevant Board of Study may amend these from time to time.

The curriculum of every student must be approved in advance by the relevant Course Director or equivalent acting on behalf of the Board of Study. Where a pass in a particular class is a necessary condition for progress or for an award, this shall be clearly stated in the relevant course regulations. The choice of classes may be subject to constraints of timetabling and may also be influenced by professional requirements as well as by a student’s entrance qualifications or pre-requisite classes passed.

19.1.9 The curriculum may include a design or other project or a dissertation.

28

Course delivery, materials, assessed work and oral examination shall be in English unless stated otherwise in individual course regulations and published in the Course Handbook. The University cannot guarantee that all optional classes will be available in any given academic year.


19.1.11 The structure of instructional courses shall normally accord with the following table: Award Credit

Requirements Minimum Level Requirement

Postgraduate Certificate 60 50 credits at Level 5 Postgraduate Diploma 120 100 credits at Level 5 Masters Degree 180 150 credits at Level 5

Note: For a typical student one credit equates to approximately 10 hours of total student effort. In order to qualify for a University of Strathclyde award, a student who has been granted exemption from part of a University of Strathclyde course through credit transfer or RPL (in accord with Regulation 19.1.3) must gain from the University of Strathclyde course curriculum a minimum of one-third of the overall credit requirement for that award. Dissertation

19.1.12 Where a dissertation is required, a student will normally be expected to have performed to the satisfaction of the Board of Examiners in the taught components of the course before being permitted to proceed to the dissertation. The dissertation shall be of a length and standard approved by the Board of Study and shall normally be submitted by a date approved by the Board of Study and published in the appropriate Course Handbook.

19.1.13 Any dissertation submitted under the provisions of Regulation 19.1.12 must be written in English. Exceptionally, having regard to the nature and content of the dissertation, the Board of Study concerned, acting on behalf of Senate, may permit submission in another language, in which case a translation of the abstract as a minimum into English must accompany the dissertation. Attendance and Performance

19.1.14 Every applicant admitted to a course of study shall be required to attend regularly and to perform satisfactorily the work of each class in their curriculum. Students have an obligation to inform the University Registry at the first reasonable opportunity of any medical or other circumstances which might adversely affect their attendance, performance and/or ability to study. A student who, in the opinion of the Head(s) of the Department(s) (or nominee(s)) offering a class, does not satisfy the requirements as to attendance and to performance and having been informed in writing, shall not be entitled to take the examination in the subject of that class and shall

29

be so informed. The names of such students shall be reported immediately to the relevant Board of Study. A student may subsequently be permitted by the Course Director (or nominee) to take the examination in the subject of the class at the next available opportunity subject to satisfactory completion of appropriate course work. Examinations and Assessment

19.1.15 The Board of Examiners shall consist of not less than four persons including an External Examiner and academic staff responsible for the conduct of the course. It shall normally meet under the Convenership of the Course Director or Head of Department.


19.1.17 Classes shall be assessed by (i) coursework assignments; or (ii) written examinations; or (iii) oral examinations; or (iv) any combination of the above unless specified otherwise in the relevant Course Handbook. Except where a course includes an integrative/reflective class that will draw on work in other classes, each item of work may only be assessed in one class.

19.1.18 Candidates are required to pass written and oral examinations and to perform to the satisfaction of the Board of Examiners in the course work, and in the case of candidates for the degree of Master, in the dissertation or project.

19.1.19 A student who is deemed to have failed a taught class or who has been debarred in terms of Regulation 19.1.14 shall normally have one further opportunity to be re-assessed on a similar basis or by such other means as the Department(s) offering the class may decide. The nature of re-assessment shall be identified in module descriptors and/or Course Handbooks. The attempt shall normally be made at the next available diet of examinations. Exceptionally, candidates for instructional masters degrees who fail to satisfy the Board of Examiners may, in the light of their overall performance and subject to the approval of the Board of Examiners, be permitted to revise and re-submit their dissertation, normally within one year of the first submission.

19.1.20 Notwithstanding Regulation 19.1.19, Boards of Examiners may exceptionally permit alternative forms of re-assessment for a class where they consider it to be in a student’s interest. The Board of Examiners may also require the student to re-attend the class.

19.1.21 The Board of Examiners may discount an attempt for a class where appropriate medical or other evidence has been provided subject to report to the relevant Board of Study.

19.1.22 At the discretion of the Board of Examiners or Course Director (or nominee), and, where appropriate, in conjunction with the External Examiner, a student may be required to attend and participate in an oral examination. Award of Credits

Progression Minimum Number of Credits Required First – Second Year 90

Individual courses may specify minimum credit numbers greater than those given above in which case these shall be given in the relevant course regulations. Where a course is available on a non-consecutive basis, progress requirements shall be specified in the relevant course regulations. Where credits in particular classes are required for progress, these shall be specified in the relevant course regulations.

19.1.26 Candidates for the degree of Master will normally be expected to perform to the satisfaction of the Board of Examiners on the taught components of the course before being permitted to proceed to the project and/or dissertation. Notwithstanding Regulation 19.1.19, a candidate may be subject to a restriction in the number of classes that may be re-assessed.


19.1.28 The Board of Examiners shall report to the appropriate Board of Study which, acting on behalf of Senate, shall ratify one of the following: (i) award of the appropriate degree, diploma or certificate with

distinction; (ii) award of the appropriate degree, diploma or certificate with merit; (iii) award of the appropriate degree, diploma or certificate; (iv) progress to subsequent stages of the course; (v) withholding of the award of the degree or other qualification pending

further study or submission/resubmission of assignments; (vi) transfer or termination of registration. Transfer of Registration, Suspension and Withdrawal
