Structure

<div>All courses are accredited by the professional body, The Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), as meeting relevant academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status. As a condition of accreditation, the following regulation, in addition to that currently found in the University of Huddersfield Regulations for Awards, must also be satisfied:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Where a module comprises two or more modes of assessment, all assessment components of weighting greater than 30%, are required to gain a minimum grade of no more than 10% below the pass mark.</li>
<ul>
<li>For F-Level, I-Level and H-Level modules the threshold will be 30%.</li>
<li>For M-Level modules the threshold will be 40%.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>
<div>The following course regulation, which is a requirement of Professional body accreditation, will be applicable for student entry from academic year 2022-2023. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>A maximum of 30 credits in a Bachelor’s or Integrated Master’s degree can be condoned (termed Compensation by the Engineering Council). If a module is available for Condonement, an opportunity will be given to undertake the appropriate referral assessment/s – if however the respective module is not subsequently assessed as an overall pass, then the condoned pass credits will be awarded, with no further module condonement available in subsequent levels of the course.</li>
