Which modules actually count towards the degree classification (3rd yr modules only?)
Welcome to the University of Durham forum: where prospective and current students can discuss everything from the differences between colleges to the nightlife, an abundance of Rahs to the Stockton campus.

Which modules actually count towards the degree classification (3rd yr modules only?)Hi,
I'm doing combined social sciences (if it makes a difference?), but I've read through the whole CSS handbook and the student handbook and all the general degree regulations on the Durham website and still can't work out which modules count towards the degree classification!
Is it an average of all the modules, so 1
1 weighting each year, or is it only the final year modules which decide which classification your degree is? I'm allowed to take 2 level 2 modules in my 3rd year, so would these module marks still count?
Thankyou! -

Re: Which modules actually count towards the degree classification (3rd yr modules only?)It's 40/60 in favour of modules undertaken in the third year. I think 2nd year modules taken in 3rd year count as 3rd year modules for weighting purposes.(Original post by angelmxxx)

Is it an average of all the modules, so 11 weighting each year, or is it only the final year modules which decide which classification your degree is? I'm allowed to take 2 level 2 modules in my 3rd year, so would these module marks still count?

Re: Which modules actually count towards the degree classification (3rd yr modules only?)I know. I posted in the durham forum because I think it may be the same for all degrees?(Original post by jinglepupskye)
Each university has its own regulations so you will have to do more research at the university.

Re: Which modules actually count towards the degree classification (3rd yr modules only?)not for your degree but they will be on your transcript that many top employers ask for.(Original post by angelmxxx)
