BSc, Diploma and Work Experience Entry Route
Assessment
Each unit is assessed by unseen written examination and coursework. A project must also be taken to complete the BSc degree. Further details are given in the syllabuses.
You do not have to come to London to take your examinations. Examinations are held once a year in local overseas centres around the world as well as in London. Examinations overseas are arranged mainly through Ministries of Education or the British Council. You will be charged a fee by your local examination centre (this fee will vary). Examinations are held once a year, usually in May/June. For further information please see the Exams section of our website.
Classification: Undergraduate degrees are awarded with First Class Honours, Upper Second Class Honours, Lower Second Class Honours or Third Class Honours. If you do not qualify for Honours, you may be awarded a Pass classification.
The standard of the examination for degrees is the same as that for students studying at a College of the University.
When you register as an External student you are not automatically entered for your examinations. These are separate procedures and you have to apply to enter. The Regulations, which you are sent as part of your study package, will tell you how and when to do this. We send you the Regulations when we give you an offer of registration and every year after that when we receive your continuing registration fee.
