Local examination centres in the United Kingdom and in the Republic of Ireland

The following list gives the centres which have indicated that they are prepared to conduct examinations in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland .

Students should note that this list was compiled in April 2004. The list of centres is revised each year and the definitive list of centres for the examination concerned will be issued with the entry form, together with a note of any restrictions imposed by the local authority.

Any college or institution may apply to the University for the establishment of a Local Centre for one or more of the examinations for External students. Each application is subject to approval by the External System Lead Colleges Committee and by the Senate. The University will not consider an application from an individual student or group of students for the establishment of a Local Centre.

All examinations held at Local Centres take place on the same dates and normally at the same time as the examinations in London . However, some centres have permission to start early and it is important that candidates should verify with the centre the correct time of their examinations.

In most cases the centres are open only to students taking specified examinations. Some centres are willing to accept candidates other than their own either for examinations listed or for other examinations and this is indicated below. Centres marked with an asterisk (*) will accept candidates not attending the college both for the examinations listed and for other examinations, provided that the dates coincide or that the candidate undertakes to meet any additional expenses incurred.

Candidates who take an examination at a Local Centre must take care to ascertain the correct address of the centre at which the examination is to be taken.

Candidates sitting their examinations at a local centre are charged a local fee in addition to the normal University fee for that examination. The Authority responsible for the centre is responsible for the collection of the local fee. The University takes no responsibility whatever either for the amount of the fee charged or the collection or refund of such fees. Details of the current fees may be obtained direct from the centre concerned.

Arrangements for oral/ aural examinations (when required) will be notified separately.

Students must comply with the directions given in the Regulations relating to the particular degree on the submission of course work, projects or essays.

All candidates sitting examinations at local centres must enclose a letter of acceptance from the centre with the entry form. The University can accept no responsibility for making arrangements on a candidate's behalf.
