6. Examinations and Assessments

6.1. Assessment of the Course

All of the units you undertake will have a formal assessment (either a mini project or dissertation for all core elements of the course). The assessments are governed by the University’s Examination Regulations and the course 
examination conventions. You will be asked to notify the course administrator of your intention to offer a mini project for a lecture course no later than the Monday of the third week of each term. This is distinct from the formal 
exam entry process detailed below. 

Where an approved subject is assessed by written examination, you will be required to abide by the University’s regulations on conduct for written examinations. Practical information and support for sitting in-person exams is provided on the Oxford students website (http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/exams/guidance). All the 
written examinations will take place at Examination Schools where there are dedicated exam rooms. Examination Schools is on the High Street and its location can be found on the map available at https://www.accessguide.ox.ac.uk/examination-schools.

Since the written examinations are at Examination Schools, you will be required to wear academic dress and sub fusc. You will also need your University card. If you wish to take water into the exam room this will need to be in a clear, spill-proof bottle with a sports cap. Calculators will not be allowed in the examinations but nor will they be necessary. More information about sitting an in-person examination can be found at 
https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/exams/in-person-exams. Information on (a) the standards of conduct expected in examinations and (b) what to do if you would like examiners to be aware of any factors that may have affect your performance before or during an examination (such as illness, accident or bereavement) is available on the Oxford Students website https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/exams/guidance.
