Exam Schedule for Lectures

Since Autumn 2019, the examination schedule for lectures (including Grammar) takes place within the 14-week teaching semester. The obligatory exam for lectures takes place in the twelfth semester week and mainly at the usual course meeting times and in the usual course venue. Students failing an exam are allowed one chance to resit it. These resit exams take place in the thirteenth semester week (again, usual course time and venue). Students who, for valid medical or other official reasons, are unable to take the main exam or resit exam, have another chance in the fourteenth semester week to take the exam. The exceptions to this fixed exam schedule are the two MA Foundation lectures. Students who take excursions in other departments that overlap with the exam period need to decide whether to do the course with the excursion or the course in the English Department. No special allowances will be made for students missing exams due to excursions.
