Preparing for your exams

From study space information to wellbeing resources, we’ve put together a list of useful resources to help you get ready for your exams.

Exam workshops and study skills consultations  

The Institute for Academic Development is running a 'Managing Your Exams' workshop series. The series is open to both undergraduate and postgraduate taught students.  

The workshops cover topics like improving your exam strategies and writing better essays in your exams. 

All taught students also have automatic access to the ‘Exam Bootcamp’ Learn Essentials course. This course covers everything from preparing to revise, revising effectively and successful exam strategies. 

If you’re looking for one-to-one support, you can book a short appointment with a study development advisor to discuss how to enhance your study skills.  

Study resources from the Library  

The University Library has created an exams and revision guide to help you study for your exams.    

You can download past exam papers to practise
