How you study
University of
London external programmes offer you an alternative way of
obtaining a prestigious degree or other qualification at a
reasonable cost. You can choose to study independently, working
completely on your own, or you may prefer to study in a small
group with a tutor or by correspondence. Many students enrol with
a local institution either full time or part time, and gain the
additional benefits of face-to-face academic support and
interaction with fellow students. Please note that tuition support
from the University is not available.
Study material is included in the Initial Registration Fee
therefore when you first register as an External student your
pack of study materials will include:
-
a Handbook, containing academic advice on effective
study techniques
-
Subject guides
for the first units to be studied
-
a Resource guide
-
a booklet containing your assignments and
instructions on how to submit your coursework
-
past examination papers and Examiners’ reports
-
a copy of the Regulations.
Each year you continue to register as an External student, you
will receive updated
materials.
Internet
access
Every BSc student must have access to the Internet on a weekly
basis, for a minimum of 30 minutes. Internet access is required
for a number of purposes, including access to a central Computing
web page. Institutions with BSc ‘Specified’ or Diploma-teaching
status will provide some Internet access for students. Institutions
teaching for the degree on an informal basis may provide Internet
access as part of their facilities. If you are studying alone
or at an institution that does not provide the required level
of Internet access, then you will need to ensure you have access
to the Internet.
