BYOD Exams

  • BYOD stands for "bring your own device".

  • For BYOD exams you use your own device or can borrow a device from WU's IT Support if you don't have one.

  • BYOD exams are supervised exams held at WU.

Exams are held in a regular classroom or in a Plug & Study room at WU. In the Plug & Study rooms every workstation is equipped with a large monitor, input devices (mouse and keyboard) and a cable bundle. This allows you to connect your own device to the large monitor, which makes working with third-party applications (e.g. SPSS) much easier.   

There are two types of BYOD exams:
  • regular BYOD exams (see section 1 below)

  • BYOD exams with third-party applications, so-called BYOD+ exams (see section 2 below). For this type of exam, WU offers virtual PC workstations  where the software required for the exam is installed.
