Assessment Dates 2024/25

Dates and times of examinations will be published via your online timetable nearer the time. Please do not request this information from your Tutors as the dates of exams are centrally timetabled by the University and not Philosophy Department staff.

In the Philosophy Department, all assessed essays and some exams have a maximum permitted word limit, and this may vary from module to module.  It is your responsibility to check the individual module information to ensure you know the maximum permitted word limit for each assessment.  All students must declare their word count on all submitted assessments and any submission which declares a word count which exceeds the maximum permitted word limit will be penalised.
