Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, all trimester 2 examinations will be taking place online through Moodle. The revised student exam timetable is now available here.

For most, these will be in the shape of a seven day open book exam, but some timed exams will still take place following guidance from professional bodies. Full exam guidance for students sitting these exams can be found here.

The University’s aim is to ensure flexibility and support for students and staff in both coursework and examinations. We must, however, balance this intention with the absolute need to maintain academic standards, so students’ degree qualifications are valid and valued by them and by employers in years to come.

Further information about how the exam diet will operate will be circulated as soon as it’s available.

Additionally, in light of the current challenges faced by staff, we’ve been exploring which elements of the operational key dates calendar can be amended to allow more time for critical activities and processes to be undertaken. This includes marking and marks upload deadlines, as well as the time allowed for Programme Assessment Boards and related processes.  

Any changes will have consequences on other activities later in the academic calendar, so these are being carefully considered to avoid any issues at a later point for our students and staff. Any altered key dates will be confirmed shortly.
