Over 62,000 exams during the month of January
[13/01/2010]
The UOC expects to carry out more than 62,000 validation tests, summary tests and final examinations this January. The three days of official sittings for the first semester of the academic year 2009-2010 are today, Wednesday 13 January, and Saturdays 16 and 23 January.

In total, 11,131 tests have been prepared: 5,255 final tests, 621 summary tests, 3,194 exams and 2,061 validation tests. Students on subjects with continuous assessment can pass by taking the validation tests. 

Students can ask to receive their results between 11 and 29 January directly on their mobile phones for free via SMS.

UOC students choose the day and venue for exams

As each year, UOC students can choose the day and venue for exams that best suits them. Given the fact that UOC students are spread throughout the world, exam centres have been set up in the UOC’s regional service centres and in other venues thanks to agreements with universities and institutions, principally in towns and cities in Catalonia, the rest of Spain and Andorra. For those living further afield, the University offers the possibility of taking the validation tests online, provided they have completed the subjects’ continuous assessment.

The centres for exam sittings are: A Coruña, Alicante, Andorra, Barcelona, Bellaterra, Bilbao, Castellón, Ibiza, Girona, Las Palmas, Lleida, Madrid, Malaga, Mallorca, Manresa, Menorca, Reus, Tenerife, Tortosa, Seville, Valencia, Vic and Zaragoza.
