Examinations are usually held worldwide in May or June each year. Examinations are held at a number of centres in the UK and centres outside the UK. The examination timetable is drawn up each year after all the examination entry forms for a particular degree or diploma have been received.

The standard of the examination for degrees is the same as that for students studying at a College of the University. Upon graduation, depending on the marks gained, you will be awarded a classified Honours degree

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.
