(2)
Candidates who fail only one first year unit of study and have no previous record of failure in the degree, who have an annual average mark (AAM) of >60 for that year, may apply to the Dean for a prerequisite waiver which would allow enrolment in the full complement of units of study in the following year, together with the failed unit of study.
(3)
Candidates may not take a fourth year unit of study until they have successfully completed all first and second year units of study, and successfully completed the third year units of study, prescribed by the Faculty as qualifying or prerequisite units of study for the fourth year as set out in the Units of Study table.

Candidates may not take a fifth year unit of study until they have successfully completed all the fourth year units of study as set out in the Units of Study table except as permitted in 6(5).

Candidates who fail only one fourth year unit of study, who have an annual average mark (AAM) of >60 for fourth year, and who have no previous record of failure in the degree, may apply to the Dean for a prerequisite waiver which would allow enrolment in the full complement of subsequent year units of study, together with the failed unit of study. This condition applies only to a fail in a single unit of study, not to the OSCE (Objective Structures Clinical Examination), which is a barrier examination and a component of all units of study (except Pharmaceutical Skills and Dispensing A and B). Candidates who fail the OSCE will not be entitled to apply for a prerequisite waiver and will be required to satisfactorily repeat ALL fourth year units of study (with the exception of Pharmaceutical Skills and Dispensing A and B if these Units of Study have already been passed.)
