L6 - Digital and Technology Solutions Professional
This programme has two assessment methods:
- synoptic project
- project presentation
5. Final Assessment and Grading
All apprentices will be studying for a BSc Honours degree in Digital & Technology Solutions. It is the achievement of the Honours degree that demonstrates that the standard has been met and which provides the grading. The grading of the degree award is significantly made up of the synoptic project assessment together with module assessments. The Honours degree award and classification is based on a weighted average mark of the assessed work the apprentice has completed. The synoptic project contributes greatly to the final year marks. The final year overall contributes to the grading typically in the ratio of 3 – 5 times that of second year modules (based on a three year model). The synoptic project must be passed in all cases to achieve the degree award.
Apprentices will be graded using Honours degree classifications for English universities. All UK universities must follow the QAA (Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education) Code of practice for the assurance of academic quality and standards in higher education. This ensures continued consistency across universities.
The national degree award outcomes are shown below with apprenticeship grading equivalence. These typically are as follows:
