Services and support for exams and coursework

The University provides a wide range of services to support students with exams and coursework. Find out what's available and how to access them.

Temporary closure of Haslegrave study spaces during exams Please be aware that due to the ongoing building works adjacent to Wavy Top, students will also be sitting exams in the Haslegrave Building. This means the PC labs (N001-005) and the ground floor foyer area of Haslegrave will be out of bounds as an informal study space from Monday 18 May to Wednesday 10 June inclusive.
