Undergraduate No Award students (Exchange or Study Aboard Programme) - Can I take my examination overseas?

Incoming exchange students studying in Malaysia for the Autumn Semester are expected to sit the normal assessment relating to the modules to which they are signed up for. In exceptional circumstances exchange students may apply to the School/ Department to arrange an alternative form of assessment. Where this is not possible, the student must return to Malaysia to complete the assessment. Only where the start date of the home university semester is before the end of the Malaysia's exam period; may a student apply to take their examination overseas.

Schools should not advise students that they may sit overseas at this stage – for incoming students this is only possible if the student has been given permission to sit overseas as part of an exchange agreement with his/her home institution.

How much does it cost to take examination overseas?

  • University resit fee - RM50.00 (if you are taking first sits only, this charge does not apply)
  • Administrative fee - RM300.00 per examination period no matter how many individual examination is taken in that session (this charge applies to resits and first sits)
  • Local charges and/or costs directly to the administering organisation making the local exam arrangements.

Please refer here if you want to pay for the overseas examination fee. You will be required to pay the full amount even if you do not continue with the overseas resit examination. Any local costs must be paid directly to your chosen institution.

What modules are not permitted to be taken overseas?

Some modules are not permitted to be taken overseas especially computer based exams. If permission is required for any of your modules, contact the administering School/ Department office for approval.
