Progression Advice

Monitoring Points

Attendance at lectures and tutorials does not contribute formally to the award of a degree, nevertheless it is our expectation that you attend these. We are required by the University to monitor a set number of separate ‘points of engagement’ each year for all undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Department, called ‘monitoring points’. To make it easy for you, these are embedded with activities you must attend anyway.

Monitoring Point Scheme

A list of monitoring points for all years can be found on the monitoring points page.
