Regulations

When you register with us as an External student, and then each year whilst you are studying, we will send you a copy of the Regulations for your programme of study.

These Regulations are very important documents as they contain the rules which govern, in particular, the structure and content of your qualification, how you progress through the programme, the way in which it is assessed, and when the exams take place.

You should remember that, as a registered student, it is the Regulations to which you should refer for these rules rather than the prospectus or the Undergraduate or Postgraduate Programme details, which you will have used when applying to become an External student. It is only the Regulations that will give you the detailed information that you will now need.

The Regulations are subject to change annually, which is why we send you a copy each year. It is vital, therefore, that you read the Regulations when you receive them and that you always ensure that you refer to the most recent version.

Although a printed version of the Regulations [depending on your programme] will be sent to you, if you are continuing your studies, at the appropriate time of year, pdf versions of these will be provided on this site as soon as they become available.

Please note:
Handbooks must be read in conjunction with the relevant Regulations, which govern the relationship between students and the University of London. All students must comply with the procedures, deadlines and instructions given in the handbook and also with the Regulations.
