The following page contains links to maps and photos (where available) of the exam venues used by the University.
The University uses a number of sites for exams, several are internal university owned sites, some are department sites and the rest are hired external sites.
You should ensure that you are familiar with the location of your exam venue, and how long it may take you to travel to it, before your exam starts. The maps tool on google HERE allows you to plan journeys walking or cycling by clicking on the 'Get directions' button and choosing your mode of transport. Addresses for venues can be found on the university map by clicking on the venues listed below.
Information on accessibility of sites can be found online here.
Background noise is unavoidable in all of our exam sites and library conditions are a close equivalent of what you might expect within an exam room.
