What exit award will I receive if I withdraw from the course after completing the first year?

This will depend on many factors, such as your programme of study and how many modules you have completed.

At undergraduate level, if you fully complete your first year of study (and have at least 120 credits with 90 at Level 4 or above), you may be entitled to a Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) at the next available Progression and Award Board (PAB) for your course.

At postgraduate level, the PAB may confer a postgraduate diploma (PGDip) if you successfully complete at least 120 credits at Level 7 or above, and a postgraduate certificate (PGCert) if you successfully complete at least 60 credits at Level 7 or above.
