Exam access arrangements
Information for students registered for the MPhil degree (by thesis and oral only), MLitt degree, MSc degree, doctoral degrees (with the exception of PhD under Special Regulations) and the Certificate of Postgraduate Study can be found on the Postgraduate Research Student Information SharePoint site.
Information for PhD under Special Regulations candidates can be found below.
If you have a disability, you may require some form of adjustment to your examination. The purpose of a reasonable adjustment is to avoid any substantial disadvantage that may arise if the oral examination was conducted under standard conditions.
Your Degree Committee is responsible for agreeing any access arrangements for your examination, or for making a recommendation for an Adjusted Mode of Assessment.
You are invited to share information about your disability with your Degree Committee, ideally four weeks in advance of your examination to allow sufficient time for arrangements to be made. You can share information through a Student Support Document created with the Accessibility and Disability Resource Centre (ADRC) or direct to your Degree Committee using a voluntary disclosure form.
The ‘Framework for the assessment and examination access arrangements for postgraduate research degrees’ includes information about the adjustment process and the range of possible arrangements available.
