How you study
Studying as an External student offers you maximum flexibility in planning your studies; you can study at a time and place to suit yourself using the introductory study materials we provide as the starting point. When you first register as an External student you will receive:
- The Arts Good Study Guide by Ellie Chambers and Andrew Northedge
- Student Handbook and Regulations
- subject guides for each module studied
- past examination papers and Examiners' reports
- access to online resources and reference materials, including a Virtual Learning Environment and Online Library.
Each year you continue to register as an External student, you will receive updated materials.
Regional study support
You can either study independently at a pace that suits you, or enrol for additional classes at a local institution (either full or part time) and benefit from the more formalized support this provides.
Please note that the University of London does not have a formal relationship with these institutions and cannot guarantee or comment on the standards of their teaching or service to students.
Note: in addition to the materials we provide you will be advised to buy some books, and you may also need to refer to others in a library. As far as possible, you should consider the facilities available locally to you, and how accessible books are likely to be before registering as an External student.
