Exams

If you are a semester 1 only student and the examinations in January clash with teaching at your home institution, you can .

When you will receive your results

All our official transcripts are produced after results day in the summer, even if you have only studied with us for Semester 1. Please read the following section that is relevant to you to find out more:

Full-year students

  • You will be able to view your provisional January exam results on Minerva (usually from around the end of February).
  • Results remain provisional until the external exam board meetings in late June.
  • You will receive your final marks on an official transcript after results are published at the end of July.
  • If your home institution wishes to see your exam results at the end of semester 1, you should send them a print-out of the provisional results from Minerva.

Semester 1 students

  • Even if you leave Leeds in January, we cannot produce your official transcript until after results day in the summer.
  • Results day usually falls in the first or second week of July. This is because the January exam results remain provisional until external exam board meetings in late June. We will email your official transcript to you and your home university.
  • We will produce a provisional transcript for all students who are studying at Leeds for semester 1 only. We will email this to your personal email address (as it is listed in your student record) in March. Please make sure your personal email address is kept up to date – you can do this on Minerva.

Students taking postgraduate modules

  • Results for postgraduate modules (coded 5xxxM) are not usually made official until the November following the end of your stay in Leeds. This is because these modules are externally moderated in late October before the official finalised marks can be released in November.
  • If you are taking postgraduate modules only then you will not receive an official transcript until November.
  • If you have taken a mixture of undergraduate and postgraduate modules, we will send you a transcript with your module marks in summer, but the postgraduate results will be provisional and could change. We will automatically send you another transcript in November, which will show all your official results.

Students studying across two academic years (January to January)

Students who are studying at Leeds across two academic years starting with semester 2 (January – June) and finishing after semester 1(September – January) of the following academic year, will receive the following transcripts:   

  • An official transcript at the end of July detailing their marks from semester 2  
  • An updated transcript the following year in July containing marks from both semesters.   

Transcripts

Receiving your transcript

  • We will email your official Ó³¿ÍÖ±²¥ transcript to your personal email address as well as to your home university after final results are published. Please make sure your personal email address is kept up to date on Minerva.
  • If you have applied to Leeds via an agent or you are a student who has studied at Leeds via an Enhanced Partner Mobility Agreement (EPMA), we will email your transcript to your agent or EPMA partner institution, who will ensure you receive your Leeds transcript.

Students taking August resit exams

  • Your parent school will contact you after results day in July if you are eligible to resit any of your assessments.
  • If you apply to resit any examinations during the August resit period, we will send you a transcript in summer and an updated transcript showing your resit marks in October.
