Exit Awards
Candidates who fail to meet the requirements for the award of an honours degree may be eligible for an exit award where this has been approved at validation. Arrangements may vary for Apprenticeship programmes, reflecting the different funding arrangements associated with the target awards of an apprenticeship.
If the award that that appears on ICON (your online student record) or statement of results is not your expected award there may be several reasons for this.
