Exemptions - How to apply
Exemptions related
Formal application must be made for all exemptions, both non-automatic and automatic.
Complete the exemption section of the application form given in the centre of this prospectus when you apply for admission to the BSc degrees or the Diplomas. If, for any reason, you are unable to do this, you should send a written application addressed to the Exemptions Officer as soon as possible to the Admissions Office, specifying the unit(s) from which you wish to be given exemption and full details of the qualification on which you are basing your request.
A non-refundable fee is payable for the consideration of all non-automatic exemptions, including applications for exemption from Mathematics for business. Do not send this fee with your initial application (please see 'Exemption Request Pack' below).
On receipt of your initial exemption application, the Admissions Office will send you one of the following:
- a decision letter advising you that certain automatic exemption(s) have been awarded
- or a letter requesting further documentary evidence before a decision regarding automatic exemption(s) can be taken
- or an Exemption Request Pack for non-automatic exemptions, comprising an Exemption Request Form, fee slip, and a covering letter. You must complete and return the Request Form and non-refundable fee by following the instructions given in the letter that accompanies the Exemption Request Pack. You must also submit all the documentary evidence requested in that letter and the fee indicated.
- or a decision letter informing you that your exemption request has been unsuccessful. This will usually be because you do not satisfy the criteria given on the Eligibility page.
Deadline date
We must receive your initial application for exemption no later than:
17 September (if you live outside the EU)
17 October (if you live within the EU)
- We will take a decision on your application for non-automatic exemption as soon as possible after your Request Form, fee and documentary evidence have been received. Please note that it is not possible for us to refund the exemption application fee, even if we are unable to award you any exemptions.
