The Exam Admin team works with academic departments to create the best possible exam timetable for students.
Remember to check your exam timetable regularly. This is especially true where special arrangements are in place.
If you're in any doubt about your exam arrangements, contact your department immediately.
Draft-approved timetables are published approximately five weeks before the start of each diet. Students have one week in which to review the draft exam timetable and report any problems back to their department. Final timetables are published the following week.
Exam timetables are published on and are available on StrathApp.
Check your timetable regularly for any amendments to exams.

We make every effort not to amend the details of an exam after the timetable has been published. Yet, there are occasions where it's unavoidable.
It is your responsibility to check your timetable regularly for any amendments.

Exam timetables have been approved by academic departments. We're unable to consider requests to reschedule individual exams.
If you believe you need to take your exam in a different country, you must contact your academic department as early as possible to request permission. Your department will consider your case and let you know their decision. You may be required to find a suitable venue in the country and there may be costs associated with taking the exam away from the University which you will be expected to pay.
