How to find previous exam papers

Finding previous exam papers online

A selection of previous exam papers are held by Library and Computing Services, they can be found on the library catalogue. 

To find copies of previous papers

Search using Library Search box on the Online Library page for your module's title or the DMD code of the module. From your search results, under Content Type in the left-hand menu, select Exam Paper. You may need to click on More .... Please see our helpful video for more details 

Please note

Modules may have changed their name and codes over time, and that exam papers are only kept on Library Search for three years, and not all papers are available. 

Since the pandemic, the way that students have been assessed has changed as many traditional sat paper exams have been replaced with other formats including in-class and online tests. Other assessment formats have also been introduced and this will vary by Programme and Module.

In terms of copies of previous exam papers, the last main bulk that were received and digitised were from Semester A 2019/2020. We do have some more recent Engineering papers available on Library Search.

For Students: If you cannot find examples of past papers on Library Search, please contact the relevant module leaders, as they may have access to previous papers/exams.

For Staff: LCS are working with the Exams and Awards Office looking to establish a new process so we can receive up to date examples of past papers. There is currently no system in place. If you wish to have final correct versions of papers added to our system, please contact your Information Manager
