Assessment

Each individual course will be examined by a three-hour unseen written examination, which may contain both essays and shorter questions. You will also be required to submit up to three compulsory written assignments per course, and the one with the highest marks will count as part of the formal assessment. The two elements are weighted as follows: unseen written examination (80%), compulsory written assignment (20%).

Examinations

Examinations take place once a year in October. If you fail an examination at the first sitting, you will be allowed one further attempt. Examinations are normally held in a student’s country of residence. We have examination centres in over 150 countries worldwide (please see our Exams section for further details).

Note: for details of how the 50- and 35-hour Short courses are assessed please see the Short courses section of this website.
