Online oral exam

Online oral exams are rare. The oral exams almost always take place on campus. 

The main difference between the online and on-campus oral exam is that you are not in the same room as your examiner(s) for the online oral exam.

During online oral exams, you will typically be sitting in your own home or another place of your choice.  

You will receive guidelines for your online exam well in advance of the exam, including:  

  • When the exam takes place. 
  • How to access the virtual exam room.

As a rule, you must use your own computer when participating in the online oral exam. If this is not the case, it will be stated in the course description, on itslearning, or in the guidelines you receive regarding your exam.  

The program used for the online oral exam can be:  

  • Microsoft Teams 
  • Zoom 
  • Adobe Connect  

It will be stated in the supplementary guidelines for the exam in question which programme you have to use.
