Entering for assessments

Sessions

Assessments are held in various sessions throughout the year. You will be able to sit assessments in one or perhaps several of these sessions depending on the programme you are registered for. Check your programme regulations for details on when your assessments will take place each year.

If your programme requires you to enter for assessments, you will find your assessment entry button on the Assessments page when logged in to the Portal. You will receive an email alert when the assessment entry process is open. 

Important note: Your local assessment centre’s deadline for the receipt of assessment entries may be several weeks before the stated closed data listed on this page. Please contact your centre as soon as you can to check when their entry deadline is.

Cancelling an assessment entry: You may cancel your assessment entry or London centre fee payments up to 14 days after payment by informing us via the 'Ask a question' button on the Home page. You should check your centre's refund policy in relation to their fee. You are strongly advised not to make an assessment entry if you do not feel you will be academically, physically or financially prepared for the assessments.

Information Security (MSc/PG Dip)

All assessments will take place in a 24 hour window, in three-hour time blocks.

You will be allocated a three-hour time block (based on your geographical location) to download, write and submit your assessment. Your start time will be displayed on your VLE and on your Admission Notice which you will receive three-to-four weeks before your first assessment.

The local times will vary depending on the time zone, please check your time zone and local time carefully. If you have any questions about your time block allocation or if you wish to change your time block, please contact us immediately via the 'Ask a Question’ button in the Student Portal, using the 'Online Assessment’ category, to allow us sufficient time to make any changes.
