Pass mark for MSc Accounting & Finance at UOH?

Hi guys; quick question, just started my MSc at University of Huddersfield in Accounting & Finance, I’m not quite sure what the pass mark is and how it is graded, I’m sure it’s completely different to how undergraduate degrees are graded due to it being only 1 year long, anyone have any idea on roughly how a Uk MSc is calculated? And what the minimum % is to pass the course ? And how they actually grade it like is it pass merit and distinction or just pass fail? Or something else ?

Thanks
Amir

Usually with UK MSc's, 50% is the pass mark, 60% is a merit and 70% is a distinction.

Sometimes master's degrees also have the condition that to get a distinction overall (as opposed to just in one module), you need to average 70% or more across the course and get at least 65% in the dissertation component. However, this is not always the case.
