Each module of the BD and Diploma and Certificate of Higher Education in Theology is examined by one three-hour unseen written paper.
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. 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 Diploma and Certificate of Higher Education in Theology are awarded with Merit, Credit or Pass.
The standard of the examination for degrees and diplomas is the same as that for students studying at a College of the University.
