Exams and Assessments

Exams will take place online and on-campus. For general exam information, including assessment dates and deadlines for specific provision adjustments and religious observance notification, please see the central exams page.

We will release your exam timetable via MyTimetableIf you have any on-campus exams it’s a good idea to check out beforehand where they will be held. A campus map can be found here and links to most locations will be found on your timetable for each exam.

Reminder: Student ID Required for On-Campus Exams

All students must bring their student ID card to every exam. Ideally, you should bring your university ID card (with a photograph) to all exams and place it face up on your exam desk for identification verification. Invigilators will confirm that the details on your exam script match those on your ID card. Failure to provide your student ID may result in your identity not being verified. Please ensure you have your ID with you before arriving at the exam venue. If you need to replace your student ID before an exam, you can find more information here.  We accept alternative forms of identification, including passports, driving licenses, and international ID cards. These must contain a clear photograph and your full name. 

Student Services are available to support you as you prepare for exams and assessments. Please access the Study Zone for guidance and support on revising and undertaking your exams.
