Assessment

Assessment is a requirement if you are studying a postgraduate qualification. If you choose to take individual units only, the unit assessment is optional.

Assessed coursework

  1. All coursework can be submitted via Blackboard, and feedback from e-tutors will also be given online. 

Unit examination

  1. Formal unit examinations will take place two or more times each year. An examination will normally be available within six weeks of the unit completion date; you may take the examination at a later date but no more than one year after commencement of the unit.

  2. Examinations can take place at The University of Manchester or at a University approved off-campus examination location, such as a British Council office / other university*.

*Please note that The University of Manchester will assist all students in finding a University approved off-campus examination location but it is ultimately the student's responsibility to find and pay for this. All students are welcome to take their examination at The University of Manchester.
