Examinations

Examination Entry Process

Your examination entry will be determined in conjunction with your Director of Studies at the beginning of Michaelmas Term and registered by you using CamSIS Self-Service.

Should it be necessary, the cost of typing illegible scripts is the responsibility of the student concerned. Any student with dyslexia or writing difficulties should see their Tutor as early as possible.
