[Roger, Eventhough the normal situation will be that a candidate will have completed the coursework at the required level in order to proceed to the thesis, these rules need to cover re-examination in the coursework component. It is possible, although unlikely, that coursework in some future course for example would be undertaken concurrently with the thesis. Mostly, it can be expected that any re-examination of coursework is likely to occur after the coursework component and before proceeding to the thesis. i.e. The student who doesn’t reach the required level to proceed will either be re-examined in some of the coursework to try to come up to the required standard, or the course will be terminated because they have failed, or they will transfer to the Masters degree and be awarded that.]
