		All honours dissertations are to be lodged with the supervisor by the end of the first week of the formal examination period in the final semester of enrolment.

	British undergraduate degree classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A degree may be awarded with or without honours, with the class of an honours degree based on the average mark of the assessed work a candidate has completed.
		A candidate who is unable to take his or her exams because of illness can sometimes be awarded an aegrotat degree; this is an honours degree without classification, awarded on the understanding that had the candidate not been unwell, he or she would have passed.
		A candidate for a postgraduate master's degree is usually required to have at least a 2:2 degree, although candidates with 2:1s are in a considerably stronger position to gain a place on a postgraduate course and to gain funding.
