About University of Brigant

Historic UK university (founded 1883) with Edinburgh campus and tuition-free online degrees.

Overview

This nine-month PGCert is for assessment leads who must prove who sat the exam when the student is in a kitchen in Inverness or a flat in Leith. University of Brigant’s dual pathway makes identity-checked assessment a core operation, not a panic plugin. Fifteen credits, Edinburgh or tuition-free online, same standard. You will design policies that are lawful, accessible, and honest about residual impersonation risk. No vendor lock-in as a learning outcome. No spyware framing. Dual-pathway students on this PGCert sit the same protocol-writing assessments whether they can reach Edinburgh or not. Fifteen credits over nine months.

Delivered on campus in Edinburgh with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.

**Award:** University of Brigant **Credits:** 15 | **Typical duration:** 1 years (9 months)
