BMus Programme Handbook 8
10 Progression Regulations This section is to be read in accordance with both the Conservatoire s Undergraduate Handbook and Regulations, Codes of Procedure and General Rules both of which can be found on Moodle under the Useful Information tab. All modules must normally be passed in order to proceed to the next Level of study, or to be awarded the degree of BMus with Honours. Students are advised to note that all assessments within a module must be passed to pass the module overall. At the end of each Academic Session, the Board of Examiners will write to each student on the Joint Principal Study route asking them whether they wish to continue on that route, or to specialize in one or other of their Principal Studies. In order to continue on the Joint Principal Study route, students must normally achieve B3 as the Overall Module Grade for each Performance (Principal Study) module; failure to achieve this level in both Principal Studies will normally result in the student being required to pursue the better Principal Study as a single study (i.e. transfer to the Performance/ Composition/ Jazz route); students may not take Conducting as a single-study at undergraduate level. In cases of failure at first-sit (all Levels): resits will be available for all assessments, normally at the next Diet of examinations. Where failure extends to more than 60 credits, the Board of Examiners may consider terminating the student s studies and offer the appropriate exit award. In reaching the decision to terminate studies, the Board will take account of the student s overall profile (including Tutor Reports) for the year and any preceding year(s) of study, any mitigating circumstances, and the report(s) of the relevant Specialist External Assessor(s) where applicable. Decisions on Progress at Resit All resit assessments shall receive a grade no higher than a minimum pass (D3), and this grade shall be factored into the calculation of the Overall Module Grade. The Overall Module Grade shall be flagged, to show that the whole module, or a part thereof, has been taken at resit. In cases of failure at resit, the Board of Examiners will take account of the student s overall profile for the year and any preceding year(s) of study at the Conservatoire, any mitigating circumstances, and the report(s) of the relevant Specialist External Assessor(s) where applicable. Failure at resit will result in one of the following outcomes: Failure at resit in Performance/Composition Modules and/or Performance/Composition Folio modules A) in all Levels will normally result in termination of studies and conferment of the appropriate exit award. BMus Programme Handbook 9
11 In Levels 1 3, exceptionally and only in cases of borderline failure (E1 or E2 at resit), the Board of Examiners may consider suspending the student s studies for one year and offer a second and final resit of the failed assessment(s), normally in the May/June Diet of the following Academic Session. (The Board of Examiners may recommend the student to consider taking Continuing Education in order to attempt retrieval of the failure.) Failure at the second and final resit will result in termination of studies and conferment of the appropriate exit award. Failure at resit in modules other than Performance/Composition Modules and Performance/Composition Folio modules: B) in all Levels, may be compensated, so long as the Board of Examiners is satisfied with the overall quality of the student s application, progress and achievement to date. Compensation does not turn a fail into a pass, but acknowledges the work the student has undertaken. The original fail grade stands, and the student may be allowed to proceed to the next Level of study. Modules totalling no more than 20 credits (regardless of level) may be compensated in any given year of study; and compensation is limited to 40 credits within the overall degree. Overall Modules Grades which have been compensated shall be flagged. C) in Levels 1 3 only, following a fail at resit which is not compensated, the Board of Examiners may allow a student to proceed to the next Level of study whilst requiring her/him to retake the failed module, i.e. to attend all classes and to complete all assessments pertaining to that module in the following Academic Session. Normally, modules totalling no more than 30 credits (regardless of level) may be carried forward for retake in the following year of study. (In cases where the failed module is not offered in the following Academic Session, the Board of Examiners will require the student to undertake another module, of the same credit-rating.) Failure at retake will normally result in termination of studies and conferment of the appropriate exit award. Students going into Level Four who fail Level Three modules at retake may be eligible for an exit award. D) in all Levels: failure at resit or retake in modules totalling more than 30 credits (regardless of level) will normally result in termination of studies and conferment of the appropriate exit award. Students are also advised to note that a failure to attend any examination and/or submit work due will result in being classed as a non-submission. Any resits due to non-submission will incur an additional financial charge of 125 per submission. This charge is also applicable to re-submission due to plagiarism. BMus Programme Handbook 10

Time will be spent on identifying specific problems, and identifying the means to solve them, including questions of historically informed performance. The specific technical and repertoire content of 1:1 lessons will be determined by the needs of the student in consultation with her/his tutor, and taking account of the assessment requirements for Performance A and Performance B. Supporting Studies classes, rehearsals and performances will support the Principal Study. Activities will vary from one department or discipline to another and may include performance and repertoire classes, improvisation, orchestral concerts, operatic and other staged productions, chamber music collaborations, concerts, festivals, competitions, masterclasses and, in some departments, the study of subsidiary instruments. The specific repertoire content of Supporting Studies will be determined by the needs of the class (e.g. in techniques classes), by the Music Planning Group (for large-scale corporate performances), and by students themselves (e.g. in chamber music). On successful completion of this module you will be able to: Perform creatively with a fundamentally secure technique and some expressive ability in a variety of performance contexts and repertoires Project musical ideas with some confidence and demonstrate some independence in your studies Demonstrate fundamental skills in critical and analytical understanding in-and-through practice, writing and speaking Demonstrate foundational skills in collaborating/engaging with peers and nonspecialists You will be assessed through: Performance A (45%) Performance B (45%) BMus Programme Handbook 19

Reports from individual Supporting Studies elements will be scrutinized by the Head of Programme before submission of the final pass/fail result to Registry. A fail in any one Supporting Studies element may lead to failure of this component; failed reports will be the subject of scrutiny at the Board of Examiners. In this assessment mode your assessors will be looking for: functional collaboration some skills in critical listening a basic understanding of rehearsal techniques preparation demonstration of progress having been made understanding of role maintenance of focus and concentration self-management and reliability functional engagement with specialists and nonspecialists interaction in ensembles a basic ability to lead and support appropriately professional standards in time-keeping and attendance clarity of verbal communication You will be assessed through: Critical Commentary (minimum 1000 words) (10%) In this assessment mode your assessors will be looking for: reflection on your principal study and its relation to the other components of your degree programme depth of reflection reflection on feedback reasons for repertoire choices a basic knowledge of repertoire and its context reflection on working processes BMus Programme Handbook 20
