• In the case of integrated masters degrees, students who fail to meet the progression requirements for entry to stage 4, or whose performance in stage 4 does not reach the standard required, should be eligible for the award of a bachelors degree. Where the programme structure and/or accreditation requirements mean that a student cannot meet the outcomes for the standard named bachelors degree, a programme title that differentiates the different routes should be used. Where the programme outcomes and/or accreditation requirements can be met, the standard bachelors degree title should be used;
• Any additional requirements for particular programme titles (for example, for accredited programmes) must be specified in the programme specification and also the Award Regulations;

Additionally the following principles should be observed:

• University documentation should refer consistently to 'combined programmes' with main, subsidiary and equal components;
• such programmes should be designated as 'A with B' (for main/subsidiary combinations) and 'A and B' (for equal combinations);
• equal combination programmes should, so far as possible, be ordered alphabetically. It is acknowledged, however, that there might need to be some exceptions to this rule;
• if a programme managed by a single Board of Studies has named 'pathways' the relevant Award-level credit distributions apply for 'A with B' and 'A and B' programme titles; 
• an additional year spent in Europe or on an industrial or research placement should be indicated in the programme name and on the degree certificate;
• the term 'sandwich year' should not be used and should be replaced by reference to, for example, 'a year in industry';
• the length of a programme should always (and only) be indicated if there is a foundation year or year away from York that increases the overall length of the programme in relation to the norms of three years for a BA/BSc or four years for an MMath, MChem etc; for example, MEng in Electronic Engineering (5-year with a year in industry)';
• the award title of a Foundation Degree at the University of York should be as follows: Foundation Degree in Science or Arts or Engineering in X (subject area), to be abbreviated as FdSc/FdA,FdEng in X;
• the mode of study (e.g. distance learning) should not be included in the programme title (and therefore will not appear on the degree certificate). However, the mode of study will be indicated on the academic transcript.
