Guide to Undergraduate Examinations

The Guide to Undergraduate Examinations is intended for staff who have a role in examinations as well as for students who wish to understand the end-to-end process. Authored by academic staff of diverse disciplines, the guide contains summaries of each of the stages in the journey towards, through and after an examination, highlights responsibilities and in each case is accompanied by links to more detailed guidance.
Please note this guidance has now been removed as a result of the diversification of assessment across the Instituion. Much of the information included is now either out of date or obsolete.
 
Procedure to Support and Assess Capability to Study
The procedure is designed to deal with the small number of serious and difficult cases that arise each year. Faculties and departments which have concerns about a student’s capability to study should raise the matter in the first instance, and as soon as possible, with the student’s College. Further information is available here.
 
Faith-provision for University examinations (except those assessed by thesis and oral only)
This policy allows candidates to apply to the Student Registry for reasonable alternative examination arrangements to be made where the scheduled examination period coincides with a student’s religious observance.
