How to take exams

• Each course is divided into four sections – A, B, C and D. Each section will be assessed by a 45- Minute unseen written examinations. There are no oral exams and no dissertations.
• Examination sessions are held twice a year, normally in May and October.
• But remember you must finish within your five year period of registration.
• You do not have to come to London to take your examinations. Examinations are held in local overseas centres around the world as well as London. Examinations overseas are arranged mainly through Ministries of Education or British Council. You will be charged a fee by your local examination centre (this fee will vary). All exams are set and marked in London by the Board of Examiners.

Note: Under certain circumstances you will have the opportunity to make a second attempt at an exam for a section.

Number of sections examined

There is no requirement to be examined at any particular exam session. Students can choose when to be examined on any section, so long as they bear in mind that they must complete their study within their period of registration. A student registered for the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws can be examined in up to five sections at a time. A student registered for the Postgraduate Diploma in Laws or the Master of Laws (LLM) can be examined in no more than nine sections at the first exam session after their enrolment date, but there are no further restrictions after that.

Gisela Stuart
LLB graduate, UK.

MP for Birmingham Edgbaston and Member of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee.

" Studying, revising, looking after a family and staying sane is no easy task! I was lucky; I had a tolerant and supportive spouse, children who respond to a flexible routine, and the stamina and determination needed of success. I was thrilled when I actually completed the degree: the presentation ceremony at the Barbican Centre was one of the most moving and magnificent experiences of my life. I am now MP for Birmingham Edgbaston. This is due in no small part to the skills I acquired as an External student at the University of London."
