Diploma of the Academy

The Academy's Diploma examination is held on the last day of each course (Friday of the second week). It is a three-hour examination.

The examination is an optional part of the course and participants can decide at the end of the first week whether to sit the examination.

Although largely based on the subjects covered in the course, the exam requires an advanced knowledge of the field. Only those participants who demonstrate the highest competence in the subject are awarded the Diploma.

Examination questions from previous years are available (see below).

Exam papers are corrected anonymously. Markers are requested to rank the exam papers and to determine which candidates deserve the Diploma. Exam markers are not requested to make comments on each exam paper.

The results are made available to all candidates in the autumn term.
