Please note: Students studying in Semester 1 only will be set an alternative assessment in the case of a module with an in-person exam held in the University’s exam period. This means it should be possible to leave London before the start of the winter vacation, with only the requirement to complete any assessment that can be completed remotely remaining. For example, some coursework assessment deadlines may be set in January. If students need to leave London before these deadlines, it may be in their best interests to complete the assessment before they leave. Some online timed assessments may be also scheduled for January. The details of these are normally released on the day of the assessment with students given up to 24 hours to complete.
Please also note: Semester 1 contract dates for housing end at the official end date of the semester, Any student selecting the option to live in University accommodation does so on the express understanding that they are liable for the full contracted period.
