This service is only for students whose home address is not in the UK. Applications will not be considered if you are on a holiday or overseas trip during the exam period.
If you have been subject to an assessment irregularity ruling then you are not permitted to apply.
If you have been any granted alternative exam arrangements other than ‘extra time’ (e.g. rest breaks, use of a PC, individual room etc.), please be aware that the University cannot guarantee that this can be provided by your overseas exam venue. This will be considered on a case by case basis.
You must sit your exams in British Council offices which are established and reliable exam centres. Check the British Council website for addresses and contact information.
If your country does not have a British Council office, you may be able to sit at an alternative venue. Check our List of Permitted Overseas Exam Venues (Excel: 17kb) for your nearest options. If your preferred venue is not on this list, contact the Exams Office to enquire further.
A postage and administration charge of £50 per exam will be payable to the University. The British Council will also charge a fee for invigilation and use of their premises. You must contact them for information on local charges.
You must pay both University and British Council fees before your exam takes place.
The application is now closed – no late applications can be considered.
Following your application, we will liaise with your School and with the British Council to start making arrangements. Your application will not be confirmed until we have checked with your School that the exam is permitted to be sat overseas and that the venue can definitely accommodate our requirements.
Once the exam timetable has been released we will send you a personal exam timetable with confirmed local start times.
