If you are unsuccessful in any of your exams then you will usually be allowed to resit. Your department will contact you once your results have been formally agreed to discuss your options with you and let you know when you will be able to resit your exams.

If you are an undergraduate student you may be able to resit in the September immediately following your first attempt. Alternatively, you may be asked to repeat the year, or to withdraw and resit the exams the following summer.

If you are a taught postgraduate student then you will have to resit on the next available occasion, which is usually in the following academic year.

The arrangements for resitting exams vary according to your course, so please consult the relevant Academic Regulations.

Please note that it is likely that the marks you obtain in a resit will be capped at the pass mark. Your department will be able to confirm this.
