Pass mark for modules 1 to 4 = 50%

It should be noted that for all modules 1 - 4, candidates must achieve a minimum standard in both papers; 55% for Paper 1 and 45% for Paper 2. Failure to achieve these minimum standards means the overall mark will be graded at E (or less, depending on total percentage attained).

For Module 5 - Project, there are three categories of assessment:
Distinction = 70 (or above) marks / 100,
Pass = 50 to 69 marks / 100,
Fail = <50 marks / 100.
