- | Your project dissertation will be marked independently by your academic supervisor and a second examiner (moderator) selected by the School on the basis of understanding of the subject area. They each give a mark out of 100. If their marks differ by 10 or less, the average is taken. If the difference is greater than 10, they meet together to discuss the reasons for the difference, and try to come to an agreement. If they cannot agree, a third marker will be appointed. You require a mark of at least 50% to pass; also see the MSc project handbook above. | + | |
