How is my progression to dissertation determined?
As you work towards completion of your degree programme, we recommend that you take a little time to familiarise yourself with the regulations that govern assessment within the University, and the sources of support that the University has to offer.
Your programme handbook, which is available on Learn includes a section on progression which explains what you need to have achieved in order to progress to the dissertation stage.
Assessment Regulations
The University's Taught Assessment Regulations govern how postgraduate taught courses and programmes are assessed.
These Regulations also include links to the University’s Common Marking Scheme which is applied for all the School’s assessed work, including examinations.
Academic Appeals
The University has in place a process for an Academic Appeal, following the release of results. An Appeal is a request for a decision made by a Board of Examiners relating to marks, progression, degree classification and/or degree award to be reconsidered.
It is important to note that the appeal process cannot be used to challenge academic judgement. That is, you cannot submit an appeal simply because you believe that you deserve a better mark. There are specific grounds under which an Academic Appeal may be submitted. These are set out in the relevant university Academic Appeal Regulations.
If you are considering lodging an appeal, it is important that you act promptly.
Information on the University’s Academic Appeals processes is at:
The School strongly recommends that if you are considering submitting an Academic Appeal you should first study the guidance on the Appeals webpages, then contact the Edinburgh University Students Association Advice Place, where trained advisers can offer guidance and support.
