27. Examination Each individual course will be examined by a three-hour unseen written examination, which may contain both essays and shorter questions. Examinations only take place once a year in October. Examinations are normally held in a student\x92s country of residence and there is no requirement for students to visit the UK. There are over 650 examination centres worldwide.
28. Assignment You will also be required to submit one compulsory written assignment per module, which will count as part of the formal assessment. The two elements are weighted as follows: Unseen written examination (80%), compulsory written assignment (20%)
