Progress & Assessment
Marks for this year contribute 60% towards the final BSc classification and 30% to the MPhys one. In order to graduate, you must also satisfy certain University requirements on the number of credits obtained on passed modules.
Assessment of Modules
The modules PX3A2 Quantum Physics of Atoms and PX3A3 Electrodynamics are assessed by examination (85%) and coursework (15%). PX390 is 100% assessed by coursework. Other lectured modules given by the Physics Department are assessed by written examination. The link in the rh menu will give details of the format and proposed scheduling of our examinations. The Physics Project is assessed on the basis of interim and final reports and a viva.
Most of the courses given by outside departments are assessed by a combination of assessed coursework, e.g. essays, and examination. Fluid Dynamics is 100% examined.
Pass Marks
The pass mark for level 7 modules (these are PX4.. or MA4.. modules) will be 50% for students, who started in 20/21 or thereafter.
