For current students who started their course in 2011/12 academic year and earlier.
  • Course Code: BIOSMAJ
  • Course Leader: Anne Goodenough
  • Senior Tutor(s):
Each module taken by a student has a credit value (measured in Credit Accumulation and Transfer [CAT] points). Approximately 10 hours of total study time is required per CAT credit. A full-time year is equivalent to 120 CATs for students on an Undergraduate course. To achieve an undergraduate award a student must accumulate a particular number of CATs at Level 4, 5 or 6 as illustrated below: Bachelors Degree without Honours: 300 CATs Bachelors Degree with Honours: 360 CATs (or 480 with year-long placement)
