DEGREE REGULATIONS & PROGRAMMES OF STUDY 2021/2022

Entry to Honours:

(1) Students must pass courses to the required value of 240 credits in the first two years.
(2) Students must achieve 50% or more, at the first attempt, in Arabic 2.
(3) Students must pass Economics 2 with an overall mark of 40% or above. A mark of 40% or above in the final exam must also be achieved. (Failure to pass this exam will result in a forced fail for the course, regardless of the coursework mark).
(4) Students must pass Statistical Methods for Economics.

All courses (including any outside subjects) must be passed before embarking on the year abroad; an outside course passed at Resit in August will be acceptable.

During 3rd year, when permitted, at least 30 weeks of approved residence must be spent in an Arabic-speaking country. During sessions when this is not permitted, students will be offered an alternative means of engagement.
