How assessment works

Your course may be assessed in a number of ways, including coursework and exams. You can sit your exams anywhere in the world.

How you are assessed

You could be assessed in a variety of ways including unseen written exams, coursework, online activities (or ‘e-tivities’). Some courses will require you to complete a dissertation or project report.

Where you are assessed

This will depend on your programme. For those programmes which have examination centres those can be found here.

Other assessments will take place online, this information will be confirmed to you ahead of your assessments, on your VLE and in your admission notice. 
 

When you are assessed

Exams are held throughout the year, depending on your course. Your programme regulations will tell you when your exams will take place.

Exam entry opening dates are listed on our website.

About feedback

Individual feedback on unseen written exams is not provided. However, you will have access to Examiners' Commentaries, which provide detailed feedback for the cohort and may include sample answers from past papers.

Other feedback, for example on coursework submissions, varies from programme to programme.
