Exam Policies

Practical information on exam policies.

Timing and preparation

  • Semester 1 courses take place in December.
  • Semester 2 exams take place in April-May.

You will automatically be registered for the relevant exams when you are enrolled for your courses.

 

We strongly recommend that you do not leave your revision until the end of the course. It is better to consolidate your learning and revise as you go through the course, rather than needing to review a large amount of material just prior to exams beginning.

Exam Regulations

There are policies and regulations relating to examinations.

Resits

  • Courses taken at Level 07 or Level 08, during Years 1 and 2, will allow further attempts for students who fail the exams at the first sitting. 
  • Resit exams take place in August each year.
  • There are no resits for courses taken in later years, although if you are awarded a Null Sit due to Exceptional Circumstances, a resit will be arranged for you and would count as your first attempt.
