Health and Safety “It is your responsibility to conduct yourself in a manner consistent with ensuring your own safety and that of others. Anyone who deliberately risks their own safety, or that of others, may be subject to disciplinary procedures. When engaged in University work, and in personal activities, you should be aware of personal security at all times, and take action to minimise potential risks to yourself and others.”

Health and Safety Considerations for Final Year project: – You must discuss with your supervisor the safety implications of any proposed laboratory or applied research or fieldwork. – A formal risk assessment must be carried out, in conjunction with the supervisor, and strategies developed either to eradicate or to minimise risk.

Curriculum and Assessment If You fail the Year, you cannot ask to retake the year or have papers remarked. If You fail the Year, you will have to re-sit exams for all failed units during the Supplemental Period. If you fail these re-sits, you will have to stay back a year and retake failed units.

Research Credits Credits linked to each of six lecture-based Year Two units: – One credit = 15 minutes research participation. – You must obtain 8 credits per unit (2.5% of mark per unit). – Total for six units = 48 credits (1.5% of overall Year Two mark). You must obtain half of your credits in Semester 1, half in Semester 2 (i.e., for Psychology students, 24 per semester). Credits cannot be carried over, or made up, across semesters. Missing credits in either semester must be made up in Year Three before you can use the participant pool. If you cannot use the participant pool, you cannot complete your Final Year Project.
