What we do
Our purpose is to manage the administration of a student’s journey – from registration to student progression, examination and graduation.

The Exam Operations and Mitigating Circumstances team provide expert administrative support and advice to the University and Colleges relating to the operational delivery of exams and reasonable adjustments for undergraduate and postgraduate taught (PGT) courses.
We also manage the administration of exceptional circumstances and allowances for undergraduate and PGT students.
