Participating fully in your coursework and assessments is essential to your progress and success. Make sure you know what’s expected, where to find key information, and what support is available to help you succeed. 

Exams

If your module requires you to take an exam, you can find your exam dates, times and locations on ExamTrack. Check this as soon as the timetable is published so you can plan your revision and make sure you don’t have any exam clashes.

Coursework

You are required to attempt all assessment components for each module. Key assessment information for your modules can be found in Weblearn. Submitting and passing each component at the first submission point will help your progression. For more details, visit the Coursework Information page.

Study and Integrity Resources

Complete your assessments with honesty and confidence. These resources will help you understand academic integrity, reference correctly, and use tools like AI responsibly. Explore the guides below and visit the Online Skills Hub for even more support.

Workshops and Drop-ins

Look out for communications from your School about assessment preparation workshops and drop-ins. These are a great opportunity to ask questions and build confidence in your approach.

Mitigating Circumstances

The mitigating circumstances process is here to support you if something beyond your control affects your studies. It allows you to inform the University of unforeseen situations that have led to missed assessments or non-submission of coursework and request to submit your work at the next available opportunity.

Remember 

Every submission and exam is a step forward in your learning. Use the feedback from your tutors to reflect, improve, and grow, that’s how real progress happens. 

Plan your time carefully, stay engaged with your studies, and make full use of the support and resources available to you. They’re all here to help you succeed.
