MSc and Postgraduate Diploma
Assessment
Each module, with the exception of the Project, will be assessed by one two-hour unseen written paper. The Project will be assessed by one two-hour unseen written paper and by submission of a dissertation, weighted in the ratio 20:80.
Students will be required to participate satisfactorily in the online seminar and submit a report on their participation before making a first attempt at the examination for 'Security management'. This report will contribute five percent to the mark given for this module.
Students who make a second attempt at the examination for any module will not be required to participate in the online seminar again but may choose to do so on payment of an additional fee.
Examinations by written paper will take place on one occasion each year, normally in May. The examinations are normally held in the student's country of residence, using the existing system of overseas examinations authorities which the University of London operates for all its external students (please see our Exams section for further details).
