Assessment at Heriot-Watt is based on the CAPS (Common Assessment and Progression System). In CAPS your exam result for each course will be presented in the form of a letter grade (A - F) where
| Grade | A | B | C | D |
| Approx. Mark | 70%-100% | 60%-69% | 50%-59% | 40%-49% |
The final mark for each course will consist of continuous assessment or hand-in work (from 0% to 100% of the total) with a formal exam making up any remainder.
MSc resits are normally held the next time the exam is held. That will usually be one year later. Resitting should be considered as a last resort. Students will not normally be allowed to carry out the project part of the MSc if they have not satisfied the requirements on the taught courses
