Can one graduate with a failed exam?
Hi guys, I'm doing MPhys at Oxford, and I'm worried that I might fail one of the fourth-year exams while getting a first/upper-second overall (I know this sounds so weird...) Does anyone know if one can graduate with an exam?
The handbook and regulations are so unclear:
>A candidate who has satisfied the requirements for Part A and Part B of the four-year course, but who does not start or enter Part C or who fails to obtain Honours in Part C is permitted to supplicate for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in Physics (Pass, or Honours with the classification obtained in Parts A and B together, as appropriate); provided that no such candidate may later enter or re-enter the Part C year, or supplicate for the degree of Master of Physics; and provided in each case that the candidate has fulfilled all the conditions for admission to a degree of the University.
I'm not sure what "fails to obtain Honours in Part C" exactly means, not getting at least a third in all exams, not getting at least a third in Part C exams and project, or not getting at least a third overall.
