Contact hours

Full-time students will typically receive eight contact hours per week and will need to devote at least 30 hours a week to study.

Assessments and examinations

The programme features a variety of assessments including coursework and examinations.

Coursework is in the form of essays, reports or case studies, while group or individual presentations may be required to assess other competencies.

Examinations will be with written elements or multiple-choice questions and may be unseen or part-seen, where assessment material is released in advance.

BPP University offers flexibility in how these assessments are undertaken, and the programmes will utilise online tools where available to deliver assessments. On occasion, some assessments may require attendance at a physical location.
