12. Assessment

Each module in the PG Law programme has its own assessment method. It is important to be aware of the different assessment methods used across your programme and to plan your workload accordingly.

Queen Mary recognises five categories of assessment (these are defined in the Academic Regulations):

Assessment methods may include:

Examinations and timed assessments (on campus or online)
Coursework
Final Assessment Exercise (FAE - online)
Practical Assessment
Dissertation or projects
Presentations or in-class activities
Professional capability assessment

For modules assessed by FAE, online, or on-campus exams, you’ll answer a set of questions covering the topics taught during the module.

Exam dates are set centrally and published on your Examination Timetable in the MySIS portal before each exam period. Please note: the PG Law Office and Module Convenors receive the final timetable at the same time as students, so we cannot confirm exam dates before they are officially released.
