Can I challenge academic judgment as part of an appeal?

Academic judgments cannot be appealed on the following: 

• The content or learning outcomes associated with programmes, modules and courses that have been approved by the University 
• Captured content and live teaching events 
• The merits of work submitted by the student for assessment 
• The research methodology followed by a student.

We strongly suggest that you seek further individual feedback from assessment markers or Module Leader prior to pursuing an academic appeal in relation to the marking and feedback. You are able to request to review the coursework/examination/test papers with them in order to understand the marks awarded.

An appeal against a decision where only the opinion of academic expert(s) will suffice is deemed to be a challenge to academic judgement and will not be considered. This includes, but is not limited to, the above list.
