Chapter 12 - Award of Undergraduate Degrees ‘With Proficiency in/ Advanced Proficiency in’

Modules taken for the ‘with Proficiency in [Named Subject]’ pathway must be taken at two different levels and must be passed1. Condoned modules will not count towards qualification for the 'with Proficiency' degree title.

Students satisfying these criteria must confirm with their Faculty in advance of final awarding, that they wish for their award title to include the ‘with Proficiency in [Named Subject]’ wording.

Proposals for new ‘with Proficiency in [Named Subject] streams should be made using the proposal form, accompanied by any relevant module descriptors.
