Why doesn coursework count for a greater part of final assessment?
The University has a policy that not more than 30% of a students’ overall mark can be arrived at through coursework. As you will know, the External System examines many thousands of students each year all across the world. Unseen written exams are sat in a controlled exam setting where invigilators are present which helps to ensure that plagiarism does not occur. We realise that formal written exams are challenging. However, many employers value the discipline required to sit unseen exams, and this contributes to the fact that the University’s awards are internationally recognised.
