An Additional Learning Requirement (OFA) is a pathway assigned to you if, during an entrance test or initial assessment, you do not achieve the minimum score required in a specific subject area or fail to meet certain prerequisites for your study programme. Its purpose is to help you address any gaps and better prepare for your academic journey.

If you have not completed your Additional Educational Requirements (OFA) within the first year of your degree course, you can temporarily enrol in the second year, but you will only be able to take your second-year exams if you have completed your OFA within the set deadline. 

If you do not pass the OFA within the set deadline, you will be enrolled as a first-year student in a supplementary year. This means that you will not be able to attend any second-year courses and therefore you will not be allowed to sit any second-year exams.

How to Fulfil the OFA

Required Scores to Pass the Test:

• At least 6 points in the Biology section.
• At least 4 points in the Chemistry section.

If you score below these thresholds, you will need to fulfil the OFA (Additional Learning Obligations) through personalised recovery plans prepared under the supervision of a lecturer and/or by attending specific remedial courses, which may also be delivered online at the discretion of the programme.

The OFA will be automatically fulfilled by passing the assessment exam for the first-year integrated course that includes the module(s) under evaluation. If the OFA is not fulfilled, you will be enrolled as an "off-course" student in the following academic year.
