What is a Unit Assessment Board (UAB)?
The Unit Assessment Board meets once you have completed a unit of study, for example IT355, on the course. It will look at the marks that you were awarded for your coursework, the marks you gained from your examinations and the overall mark that these give you for the unit. It will look at the coursework and examination assessments themselves, comparing them with those set in the past and makes sure that the marks that are awarded are fair. Provided your overall mark for the unit as a whole is 40% or more you will have passed that unit. The Unit Assessment Board will then award you the credit for that unit. The marks that you gained for the unit will be used when calculating your final class of degree.
