The University runs three exam diets each academic year.  

The academic year begins in September each year, with our first diet taking place in Winter diet, Spring and Summer Reassessment period. 

Exams can be scheduled in the morning, afternoon and evening of each diet. 

Invigilators should have no restrictions to work in each exam diet.

Exam times are shown on the table below:

We have created a handbook to suppliment Invigilator training. All Invigilators should retain a copy for their records. Invigilators can carry a copy of the quick reference guide with them during exam diets. These documents can also be viewed and downloaded from the Invigilation Moodle page.
