Assessment Criteria

Assessment at Soran University is practiced by a combination of both internal and external examinations; and also in the form of written and practical examinations.

We have four Faculties in our University. Each Faculty has its own mode of assessment based on the rules and regulations specific to the each department and programme. To find out more about how each department or faculty assesses their students, please contact that specific department or faculty.

Marks and rubrices depend on your lecturer and the subjects you study. If you are not sure about the marking criteria you need to get in touch with your lecturer during the University working hours.
Check your cours guidelines or student handbook.
