I am currently on a placement year due to finish my degree in 2014. Will the degree classification changes affect me?

Yes, the new regulations will apply to all honours degree students. Because you were undertaking level 5 study last year (which counts towards your degree), you will get the best outcome from the original regulations and the 2011/12 and 2012/13 changes, so if there is any impact at all, it will be a positive one

Normally where a student is undertaking a top-up for a foundation degree, degree classification is based upon the best 105 level 6 credits. However it is best to double-check with the Student Advice Centre or Faculty Head of Studies, Dr Elaine Woodland, how your degree will be classified
