Resubmitting the Project

The University of Bristol Regulations
The University of Bristol’s regulations state that if a delegate fails to achieve a pass mark but receives a mark of at least 30%, they may resubmit the dissertation within three months of the first assessment.

If a delegate fails as a result of mitigating circumstances, their resubmission will be counted as a first submission. Both the delegate and their Academic Supervisor are expected to submit a letter of support in this case. However, if there are no mitigating circumstances and the student receives a pass on resubmission, the mark will be capped to 50%. Students are only allowed to resubmit the dissertation once.

The University of the West of England
The University of the West of England’s regulations state that delegates are permitted only one attempt at a Masters dissertation, unless the award board accepts their extenuating circumstances and permits another attempt. Where students are referred to the second assessment opportunity, a maximum period of twelve months is permitted for the resubmission of the dissertation.

Delegates should refer to the regulations of the University that is awarding their degree. It is possible for students to appeal against their marks. All queries should be directed in the first instance to the CPDA Office.

For further details of the complaints/appeals procedure please refer to Q.IG.3, Complaints, Appeals, Race, Disability and Harassment Policy. All queries should be directed in the first instance to the CPDA Office.
