For postgraduate taught programmes which started in January 2024

For January 2024 Entry students, the results released in February 2025 will be your final, confirmed results your programme. When final results are released you will see:

• Your end of level decision i.e. the final outcome of your academic year.
• An attached results document, which will open in another window. This document will give you a more detailed explanation of your results and your options.

You can download an official signed and stamped transcript of all your results so far from your University Intranet account by selecting the ‘Course Details’ tab on the left hand menu and then clicking on the ‘Transcript’ link on the right hand side of the page.   

Your award certificate and transcript is also available via the Gradintel system. If you have not already done so, you may activate your Gradintel account by logging in to your MyUni dashboard and accessing the Gradintel area. To activate your Gradintel account, please look for an activation email delivered to your student email account. If you have any issues, please contact MyUniHub@swansea.ac.uk. Once your account has been activated you will have permanent access to your certificate and transcript and be able to securely share them with third parties. 

When you view your results, the Level Decision indicates your overall outcome for the year. Next to your decision, you can also access a decision letter (a PDF document) which contains an explanation of your outcome. Please click the blue text which says 'An explanation of your Level Decision can be found by clicking here'. This will open in a separate window, so make sure you have pop-ups enabled.

A short summary of assessment rules for each level of study is available on our faculty Science and Engineering assessment summaries pages.

Module marks are calculated by giving each component mark the specific weighting assigned to it. For Engineering students, these weightings should be detailed in the Engineering Part 2 Handbooks for your year and programme. For Science programmes, please check Canvas module pages for information, and contact your Module Coordinators directly for any specific queries.

Example:

Module Mark = (56 x 0.7) + (62 x 0.1) + (69 x 0.2) = 39.2 + 6.2 + 13.8 = 59.2

Your year average takes into account all credit-bearing module marks. The relevant weighting is applied to each module given the amount of credits it is worth i.e. a 20-credit module will count twice as much towards your year average as a 10-credit module. 

Please see our Science and Engineering Assessment Regulations pages for details on how your degree is calculated. 

If you have a module with ‘QF’ as the outcome, this means that you have failed to qualify for a pass in the module even if your overall module mark is above the pass mark threshold. This is because there is a component of the module which you are required to pass or attain a certain mark in before you can progress or receive your degree. The reason a pass or given mark is required in certain components is to ensure that specific learning outcomes for the module are met. If you have a module with a ‘QF’, you cannot compensate it and will be entered for the failure redemption assessment in the August Supplementary Assessment Period.

For Engineering programes, specific module rules are identified in the Part 2 Handbook for your programme or on Canvas.

For Science programmes, please consult with your module coordinators directly for any queries related to specific modules.

Please see our Repeat Level of Study Options webpage.

Note for all programmes

For a small number of modules that are based on practical/lab work, group work, or design work, it will not be possible to have supplementary assessments and still meet learning outcomes, and for these modules there are either additional criteria to be eligible for redemption, or it is not possible to offer failure redemption. Please refer to the module descriptions in the Engineering Part 2 Handbooks for Engineering programmes, and please refer to each Canvas Modules page for Science programmes to see which modules have additional criteria for redemption and which modules are not redeemable. If you are unsure please check with your module coordinator. 

This should be taken into account when reviewing the criteria for re-sit assessments, outlined below. 

Undergraduate Engineering Finalists (excluding Software Engineering)

• All Engineering modules are 'Core' and must be passed in order to award an accredited BEng/MEng degree in accordance with the Engineering Assessment Regulations. 
• Bachelor/ Master of Engineering Finalist students who have not met the minimum requirements to graduate with an accredited degree, may be offered the opportunity to complete a re-sit in a maximum of 40 credits of failed modules, where supplementary assessments are possible. All re-sits will occur during the August Supplementary period.
• All students must achieve an overall level average of at least 35%, in line with the relevant standard assessment regulations.
• All supplementary assessment marks will be capped unless appropriate Extenuating Circumstances apply.
• For students enrolled on the BSc Software Engineering, this is a Science programme, please refer to the guidance for Science students below. 

Undergraduate Science Finalists 

• All Science programmes may tolerate a maximum of 40 credits of failed modules to a mark of 0. 
• Re-sits are not awarded during the Final year of study, unless previously agreed due to an approved Assessment Deferral request due to extenuating circumstances. 

Undergraduate Non-Finalists (All taught programmes) 

• At the discretion of the End of Year assessment board, students may be awarded a maximum of 60 credits of re-sits in failed modules, where an assessment is available.
• Failure of more than 60 credits will mean that no re-sits will be granted and the student may be offered a Repeat Level decision provided that they have passed a minimum of 20 credits, and have not already repeated the level of study. 
• Any student who does not achieve a minimum of 20 credits of passed modules will be withdrawn.    
• For Year 3 students on 4-year MEng programmes, the following applies for resits:
  • Students are entitled to 20 credits of resits, and must have an overall average of 55% once they have completed those resits. Therefore students on MEng year 3 must pass 100 credits in order to be granted resits.  If they do not pass 100 credits they will be transferred onto the BEng programme and will follow the finalist rules for resits and degree award.

Postgraduate Students 

• Postgraduate students who began in January 2024: Students will be eligible to re-sit any failed modules from the last semester (Sept 2024 - Jan 2025 modules) in the March 2025 Supplementary period, along with any deferred exams.
• Postgraduate students who began in September 2024: For modules where a redemption is possible, postgraduate students are eligible to re-sit any module they have failed during the August Supplementary period.

Swansea University does not allow elective resits. Following your End of Year results in July (September for January Entry Year 1 students), you will not be granted a resit in any module which you have passed.

In the event that you re-sit a failed module and achieve a lower mark, the University will apply the ‘Best Mark Principle’ and your original assessment mark will be included on your transcript and in your level/award calculation.

If you think a mark may not be correct, you may request an Accuracy of Published Marks check within 10 working days of the release of results. Before submitting any request, please read the information below.

• The process will ensure that marks recorded for assessment components and the overall module are free from administrative and/or arithmetical error e.g. that marks have been transferred into the Exam System correctly, that marks have been added up correctly on an exam script etc.
• It does not involve assessments being re-marked nor will it provide further information as to the reasons for particular marks having been awarded.
• Please be aware that module marks can decrease as well as increase following an Accuracy of Published Marks Check Request.
• Students must complete a Request to Confirm Accuracy of Published Marks form online, no later than 10 working-days from the release date of your results (this form will be open for submissions from the day that results are released).
• The faculty has a response target of 5 working-days to provide an outcome. However, please be aware that we deal with a high volume of requests and may not be able to meet this target in every case.

If you have any questions about the process please contact the faculty Exams team by emailing assessment-scienceengineering@swansea.ac.uk or see the University's Accuracy of Published Marks FAQ document and University APM guidance.

If you want to appeal against a decision taken by the University Examination Board, you can submit an Academic Appeal Form to the Student Cases Team following the publication of your End of Year result. Please refer to the University's Academic Appeal advice page and contact the Student's Union Advice Centre for support with your application.

Please be aware we as a Faculty are not able to directly advise students with this process.
