No face-to-face invigilated final written examinations will take place. Such exams will be replaced by alternative methods of assessment or by online examinations, all of equal weight and difficulty, as per below (1) and (2):

  • Alternative assessment methods
    1. Take-home exams
    2. Major project assignments
    3. Portfolios (where applicable e.g. design/art/etc.)
    4. Other methods specific for the discipline (e.g. music, dance, architecture, etc.)

An oral examination may complement any of the above methods. Guidelines  of alternative methods of assessment will be provided by the University and by the Schools and Departments in specific disciplines.

  • Online Examinations
    1. Oral examinations must be recorded.
    2. Electronically invigilated written examinations (including open book examinations) using e-proctoring software approved by the University.

Departments and Schools will employ the methods more suitable for their programmes and courses.
