EXAMINATION STANDARDS
The quality of the degree you receive as an international student is assured in the following way:
Your work is assessed at the same standard as that of internal students studying at a college of the University. No concession
in quality or academic rigour is given for the more difficult study circumstances. Upon successful completion, you are awarded
a University of London degree or diploma.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAMME
Students on the Programme may have the flexibility of choosing their mode of study. Students may therefore pursue a full
time or part time programme. As registration is valid for eight years, the courses are not "time limited" and students have
the flexibility to work at their own pace, thus enabling working executives to upgrade their education at a lower opportunity
cost at the same time. Flexibility and affordability are also important and with the University of London programmes, students
can plan to fit their studies around their family and professional commitments. For overseas students there is no need to go
to London, as examinations are held world-wide at local examination centres.
