During Period 1, 2 and 3, assessments will be held remotely where possible. In most cases, exams will be conducted in alternative formats to allow you to complete them remotely. This may include replacing unseen, timed exams with open-book exams, or alternative forms of coursework.
Take a look at our article Guidance for Online Assessments at King's for more information on the different assessment methods.
Important to know: There may be some exceptions where assessments cannot be held remotely, for example, if you are on a professional programme. Your faculty or department will confirm this with you.
