  • 40 – 49% - fail performance

Assessment

Modules will be assessed by a mixture of coursework and exams. Module outlines will be provided to students after the nomination deadline.

As per College guidelines, students will receive feedback on their coursework between 2 – 3 weeks after submission.

If you fail an exam but achieve over 40% on the module overall grade, you have passed the module and a re-sit exam is not required.

If you have not achieved a minimum of 40% on the module overall, you may be required to re-sit the exam or resubmit coursework to achieve a pass mark for the module. Resitting an exam or resubmitting coursework will result in the module being capped at the pass rate of 50%.

Students may only resit an exam or resubmit a piece of coursework once. Students have the opportunity to re-sit failed exams in the August/September resit period. The decision on whether you resit an exam to pass a module rests with your home institution.

Code of Conduct

The Imperial College Student Code of Conduct must be adhered to while on exchange at Imperial.

Additionally, the Business School has created guidance for students on using GenAI tools for assessments. Students must adhere to these guidelines while at Imperial. (Updated Dec 2023).
