Linking
We assess your performance on the basis of the average result in the module pairs listed in table 2. This allows you some leeway to compensate a poor result in one half of a linked pair by doing well in the other half.
It is recommended that you select 4 linked pairs (80 credits) and 3 further modules (30 credits) from the complete list of modules in Table 3 to form the 110 elective credits.
