Diploma for Graduates in international Development

Assessment

Each unit is assessed by one three-hour unseen written examination, and each half unit by one two-hour unseen written examination.

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: Students must pass four full units to be awarded the Diploma. One resit may be attempted for any unit failed. Diplomas will be classified as Distinction, Merit or Pass. A student who has failed a unit twice or two units once is eligible for a Pass grade only.

The standard of the examination for degrees is the same as that for students studying at a College of the University.
