The London School of Media and Management (LSMM) is committed to maintaining rigorous, transparent, and fair assessment practices that support academic achievement, professional development, and lifelong learning. Our assessment framework is designed to enable learners to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding, skills, competencies, and achievement of learning outcomes in accordance with the level and requirements of their programme of study.
LSMM operates a comprehensive assessment and quality assurance system that reflects best practices in higher education and professional learning. Assessment methods are carefully aligned with programme learning outcomes and are designed to support both academic and vocational development across a broad range of qualifications, awards, and professional training programmes.
To ensure that learners have multiple opportunities to demonstrate their achievement, LSMM employs a variety of assessment methods, which may include:
Written assignments and coursework
Case studies and project-based assessments
Professional reports and reflective journals
Presentations and seminars
Practical and skills-based assessments
Portfolio development
Online assessments and examinations
Research projects and dissertations
Professional practice and workplace-based assessments
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Equivalence Assessments
Viva-Voca
Assessment approaches may vary according to the nature, level, and learning outcomes of individual programmes and qualifications.
Following the submission of assessed work, learners receive constructive feedback from appropriately qualified academic staff and subject specialists. Feedback is designed to support academic development, encourage reflective learning, and provide guidance for future improvement.
All assessments are subject to robust internal quality assurance procedures, including verification, moderation, and academic review processes, to ensure consistency, fairness, validity, and reliability of assessment decisions across all programmes. Where appropriate, assessment outcomes may also be reviewed in accordance with programme-specific regulations and quality assurance requirements.
Upon completion of the assessment, verification, and moderation processes, final outcomes are reviewed and approved by the Academic Quality Board (AQB) which is responsible for overseeing academic standards, maintaining the integrity of assessment processes, and ensuring that all awards are granted in accordance with established academic and quality assurance requirements. Following formal approval, learners are notified of their results and, where applicable, the successful achievement of qualifications, certifications, professional awards, or academic credits.
Successful learners will receive the relevant qualification, certificate, award, or transcript associated with their programme of study. Awards may be formally conferred during LSMM Graduation Ceremonies or issued directly to learners through approved certification processes. The institution takes pride in recognising and celebrating the achievements of its learners through formal academic recognition and progression opportunities.
LSMM is committed to supporting student success and progression. Where a learner does not initially achieve the required assessment standard, a formal Referral Notice may be issued. This notification will provide clear guidance regarding:
Areas requiring improvement
Resubmission requirements
Reassessment opportunities
Applicable deadlines and procedures
Academic support and tutorial guidance available
Learners are encouraged to engage with tutors and academic support services to maximise their chances of successful completion.
Successful completion of LSMM programmes may provide learners with opportunities to progress to higher-level qualifications, subject to programme requirements and admission criteria.

Through its commitment to academic excellence, quality assurance, and learner achievement, LSMM seeks to ensure that every student is provided with a clear pathway for educational advancement, professional development, and lifelong learning.
