Send to friendAll undergraduate courses offered at the University of Seychelles are delivered through enrolments with the University of London External Programme. This means that course content and materials are designed and devised by faculty staff in London and used as the resource backbone for course delivery here in the Seychelles. The courses are, however, taught courses. Students attend lectures, seminars and tutorials. They have access to all university facilities and resources, from the conventional library to IT provisions, from recreational facilities to lecture archives. The amount of contact time with lecturers compares most favourably with that experienced by full-time students in other universities. Assignments are set and monitored by UniSey faculty, to whom students are primarily responsible. Students progress and performance is carefully monitored; students experiencing any problems with their selected course modules are quickly identified and assisted. Yearly examinations, including ‘finals’, are set and marked by University of London faculty. In common with other universities successful completion of module coursework and examinations is essential for progression through the programme.

Currently the course content for the programmes offered at the University of Seychelles is as follows:
