Course assessment usually comprises of a comprehensive final exam and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment can include amongst others, mid-terms, projects, and class participation. Letter grades are calculated based on the weight of the final exam and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these two assessment components.

Master students satisfy the English requirements if their first degree was taught in English. Otherwise, they would need to present a minimum TOEFL score of 550 paper-based or 213 computer-based, GCSE “O” Level or IGCSE with minimum “C”, IELTS with a score of 6.5, or a score placement at the ENGL- 100 level of UNIC’s NEPTON. The University offers English courses at various levels to help students reach the required standard for admission to a graduate programme.
1. The purpose of this test is to place students in the appropriate level of English in order to support their academic studies at the University. The NEPTON is not a University entrance examination; previous academic performance (e.g. School Leaving Certificate) is taken into consideration with regard to University entrance requirements.
2. The number of additional courses and corresponding course loads are given in the table below:
| Level of English | Hour of tuition/work | Credits | Additional course load permitted |
|---|---|---|---|
| ENGL-101 English Composition | 3 | 6 | Normal |
| ENGL-100 Basic Writing | 3 | 6 | Normal |
| BENG-100 College English | 6 | 6 | Normal |
| BENG-070 English Language Skills | 12 | 4 | 6 credit hours |
| BENG-060 English for Beginners | 20 | 2 | No other credits |
