Assessments, exams and awards are a big part of your journey at university. They help you to find out how you are progressing, what your strengths are and where to focus more attention, and it’s how we evaluate what you have learned.

Assessments and exams can feel stressful for some, and it’s important to understand what help is out there if needed. To help lighten the load, we’ve pulled together some information about where and how your examinations will be held, applying for a replacement certificate or advice if you are looking to submit an academic appeal.

Examinations may form part of your university assessment. Find out more information about your exams, how they’ll be completed and how to access your examinations timetable.

Mitigation and extenuating circumstances
