Dissertation marked 0

My dissertation was marked zero. Can I still receive a MSc degree from the university? My university is Durham University.

From my understanding, I’m afraid not. If you don’t pass all modules, you’ll receive a postgraduate diploma and not a degree as, in order to complete a MSc degree, you must receive all 180 credits. At least that’s how my course was (UWE).
From what I’ve seen online, it says you’ll be offered a chance to resit it but given the time of year, I’m assuming you’ve just done the resit (please forgive me if I’m wrong). I would suggest having a discussion with your course leader and seeing what opportunities can be offered.

"14. A student must gain credits as follows subject to the requirements of the relevant programme regulations: a) for the award of a Master’s degree: a total of 180 credits including at least 150 credits at Level 4. b) for the award of a Postgraduate Diploma: a total of 120 credits including at least 90 credits at Level 4. c) for the award of a Postgraduate Certificate: a total of 60 credits including at least 40 credits at Level 4."

Hi, thank you for your support. This was not a resit, but rather a regular submission of my dissertation (the deadline was in early September), and the marks are due to be released shortly. Recently, the university contacted me regarding a suspicion of plagiarism. Today, I attended a panel where my work was marked zero.
I fully agree with another post here about Turnitin being a flawed system that academia should not rely on exclusively. Unfortunately, people tend to judge based solely on the similarity report, and if the score is high, it is immediately assumed to be plagiarism. The "discussion" arranged by the university was not a discussion at all; it was a meeting marked by bias and prejudice, where I was expected to defend myself. I want to emphasize that I did not plagiarize anything.
At this point, I am hoping to at least receive a Postgraduate Diploma.
By the way, as an international student, given my situation, would I still be eligible to apply for a Graduate Visa? I understand that it is available only after successful course completion. Is a Postgraduate Diploma considered a successful course completion for this purpose?

Turnitin used to ignore the so-and-so says and then the quote - "arguing" it was all copied (it was, but with full acknowledgement of who said what when). What gets most ignored by universities (and they know this) is that rich students get tutors for all their subjects. Did you use a tutor? Then the work is not yours.

Did you write anything? Did you plagiarise? Durham is a serious university. Are you?

I’m afraid I can’t say anything about a graduate visa as I don’t work in academia, nor am I an international student (technically by definition, I’m only a student for an additional 12 days as my graduation is on the 26th November). So I’m afraid I can’t comment on this.
I would discuss anything regarding this with your course leader (or hope someone may happen upon this thread more knowledgable than myself on this). If you are in a position, perhaps they may allow you an additional attempt at it but I’m afraid I can’t say much beyond that as I don’t know the regulations for your position I’m afraid, I just know what I was told when I joined the course.
Good luck and I hope it works out for you!
