Access to the recently created Environmental and Renewable Technologies Hub (EaRTH) a working facility for the provision of training and education programmes and demonstration of the most up to date, small scale renewable technologies, including those suitable for on-farm use. An emphasis on operating agricultural and related rural businesses for profit in the current business environment and developing a sound approach to future management and diversification. PS8. Student Numbers The following provides information that should be considered nominal, and therefore not absolutely rigid, but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience, functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning: Minimum student numbers per stage = 12 Target student numbers per stage = 20 Maximum student numbers per stage = 36 PS9. Progression Route(s) Approved “progression route(s)” are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme. This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to “top-up” to complete a Bachelor degree, but may be employed for other award types. This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award; however progression opportunity, if not available in the first year of application, is guaranteed within 3 years. Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk. It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme. For progression to Plymouth University, should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found. This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University. Students completing the FdSc Agriculture are eligible to apply for BSc courses in relevant disciplines at Plymouth University such as the BSc (Hons) Rural Business Management, which is also run at Duchy College Stoke Climsland. If you progress to the final stage of a Plymouth University programme then your level 5 marks will be taken into account in your final degree classification. The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations.
