Applying Postgraduate Taught Conventions in the Academic Year 2020/21

The Requirements for Postgraduate Taught Awards outline the progression and award criteria students must fulfil in order to be eligible for their final award.
 
For some of you in our Postgraduate Taught community, you may have been studying here at Warwick in 2019/20, which means you will have moved between different sets of requirements during your programme of study. This will include those of you undertaking part-time study, or those students who may have deferred or temporarily withdrawn and have since returned.
 
Today, we would like to clarify the discretionary criteria in place for postgraduate taught awards and how measures will be applied this year if you have moved between academic years and are being considered for your final award in 2020/21.
