It includes our general rules and regulations for submitting work and sitting examinations and should be referred to in conjunction with your module-specific information such as your Module guide and Assignment booklet which will tell you about the individual elements of assessment in the specific modules you are studying.

If you are studying an undergraduate or postgraduate module, you should refer to the undergraduate and postgraduate taught modules assessment handbook (405KB).

If you are studying one of the short introductory modules in our Openings programme you should refer to the Assignment Booklet on your module site.

If you are studying on our Initial Teacher Education programme (PGCE or PGDE) use the Initial Teacher Training Programme (PGCE) version.
