14 - Scotland - Progression of students
Colleges
In the modular system
in use, promotion and student progress usually depend on meeting the
assessment criteria of a set of specified modules constituting a
course. Some modules or courses may be pre-requisite for entry to
others.
Universities and Higher Education Institutions
Traditionally,
promotion from year to year depends on passing examinations, and, in
some cases, for example, for entry to Honours courses, on attaining
sufficiently high grades. Often students must obtain a number of
examination passes before they can progress to the next year. The exact
number depends on the course and the institution. Usually two
opportunities are given to sit the examinations, except in the case of
final Honours examinations, which may be taken only once.
