Sitting an online exam

If your degree requires you to sit an exam, you can do so online from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere else in the world. To do this, you’ll need access to a microphone and web-camera and download and install a special web browser. The web browser blocks you from accessing restricted programs on your computer, and your exam is recorded to ensure academic integrity processes.

See if your computer, laptop or device is all set up and ready to go – it takes just a few seconds.
