Examinations and assessments

Examinations

The best place for up-to-date information about examinations and assessments is the University’s exam pages.

You can check which exams and assessments you are entered for, read exam timetables and find your Candidate Number via Student Self Service. You will need to check whether your exams will be taken in person or online and, if you are to take any exams in person, you should check the venue of your exams carefully. Specific details such as date, time, and location given as soon as they are known. Your examination papers will be set by your department, faculty or school.

Exam Adjustments

If you have a Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs), disability or long-term medical condition that affects your ability to sit exams, then an application can be made for alternative exam arrangements. To make an application, please contact the Academic Office (academic.office@kellogg.ox.ac.uk). There is guidance on exam adjustments here. www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/exams/examination-adjustments.

Unable to sit your exams?

Should you be unable to sit an exam through illness or other urgent, unavoidable cause, please contact the Academic Office as soon as possible. If the reasons are medical, you should obtain a medical certificate immediately as this will be required in any applications that are subsequently made to seek permission for your attendance at the exam to be excused.

Viva voce

This is an oral examination. Research students will receive instructions and information from their department or faculty or Academic Supervisor. Some masters’ courses, depending on their regulations, may require you to be available for a viva voce.

Full academic dress, i.e. subfusc with cap and gown, must be worn for all formal examinations that take place in person.
