The 33-year-old Chemistry student from the UK started his degree back in 2011. He had to re-do his first year as he didn't get the marks to proceed. Fast forward to 2014, and he had to postpone his second-year modules after suffering 'a fall'.
This meant that he couldn't get his honours degree, and the time to complete his degree had lapsed.
Riaz, originally from Pakistan, wants to fight to the end to get the marks he deserves. A regular pass means nothing to him, as he wanted to get a higher qualification and study abroad.
"‘I’m going to fight this even if I have to take it higher, even to the UN. I’m very, very keen that I take it as high as I can," he said.
The University is certain that they followed all processes and procedures accordingly and they couldn't comment on anything further.
