Joint programmes
In the case of joint programmes, the Programme Examiners may decide (i) to hold
a combined meeting to determine the results for joint programmes or (ii) to
consider the result at both of the relevant Programme Examiners' Meetings for
the two subjects of the joint programme, with the result being formally approved
at the later of the two Programme Examiners' Meeting which a representative
from the other Programme Examiners would attend.
The arrangements for Programme Examiners' Meetings for joint programmes
outlined in (ii) would normally follow the following pattern:
(a) The Programme Examiners' Meeting for one of the subjects (X) may be held
several days before the Programme Examiners' Meeting for subject (Y).
(b) The Special Cases Sub-Committee for Programme Examiners' Meeting for X
considers extenuating circumstances forms submitted in respect of single and
joint Honours students. Any forms held by Department Y in respect of joint
Honours students in XY will have been copied to Department X.
(c) The Programme Examiners' Meeting for X considers their single Honours
students and their joint Honours students on the basis of the full array of
marks. The Examiners for X form a view on the joint Honours students, and
nominate one of their Examiners to attend (briefly) the Programme Examiners'
Meeting for subject Y to represent the views of the Examiners for X in order
that the result can be jointly determined. A Minute records the view which
the Examiners for X have agreed, and a record of this view is signed by the
Chair of the Examiners and the External Examiner.
(d) The Special Cases Sub-Committee for Programme Examiners' Meeting for Y
considers extenuating circumstances forms submitted in respect of single and
joint Honours students. Any forms held by Department X in respect of joint
Honours students in XY will have been copied to Department Y.
(e) The Programme Examiners' Meeting for Y considers their single Honours
students and then their joint Honours students. The Examiner nominated by
the Examiners for X attends the meeting at an appointed time and represents
the views of the Examiners for X. The Examiners jointly determine the result
for joint students in XY. The Chair of the Examiners and the External
Examiners for Y, and the nominated Examiner for X, sign the results list.
(f) The results for students in XY are published locally by Department Y, subject
to approval by the Faculty Examiners and the Senate, and are submitted to the
Examinations Office.
