Transition between Part I and Part II

Accounting & Finance degree structure

Progression from Part I to Part II requires that you gain a pass mark (typically 40%) in all three subjects taken during your first year.

On successful completion of Part I, you make your final selection of the degree scheme you wish to study in Part II. At this point you are able to choose from a wide range of degree programmes, regardless of the specific scheme you were admitted to study in Part I.

At Lancaster you do not have to follow the degree scheme that you originally indicated on your UCAS form. Instead, you have control over how you proceed:

  • You can continue with your original selection
     
  • Or you can switch from one Accounting and Finance programme (e.g., N400) to another (e.g., N401)
     
  • Or you can switch from a single honours scheme (such as N400 Accounting and Finance) to a joint honours scheme (such as NG44 Accounting and Computer Science) and vice versa
     
  • You can switch from Accounting and Finance to an entirely different business-related degree (for instance, Economics or Business Studies)
     
  • And you can even switch from your first degree choice to an entirely different degree that is unrelated to business (for instance, Maths or Politics etc)

What happens if I fail a Part I course?

If you fail to achieve a pass mark in one or more of your Part I courses, you will be given one chance to resit each failed course in September.

Students who fail to pass all their September resit examinations are not allowed to progress to Part II.
