Hosting Assessments for Other Institutions
The University of Leeds can facilitate assessments on behalf of other academic institutions. We will provide a suitable room and a University trained invigilator.
If you would like us to host your assessment, please contact us via the email address stuahexm@adm.leeds.ac.uk at least four weeks in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements.
Available times
We can only facilitate assessments during the office hours of Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 16:30 (UK time). We cannot facilitate exams when the University is closed for public holidays. See the University Almanac webpage for key dates.
Assessment materials
You can email us any assessment papers and specific assessment regulations via the email address stuahexm@adm.leeds.ac.uk. Please send these at least 24 hours before the assessment. We will print the papers on plain white A4 paper, and give students A4 lined paper to write on.
If the assessment paper cannot be sent via email, or there are additional materials, please send it to us through a courier service, such as DHL, to the address:

We will store all assessment materials in a secure environment, and return completed scripts to you via DHL.
Assessment venue
Candidates should arrive at least fifteen minutes before the assessment start time. University staff will meet them at the reception inside the main entrance of the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building. See the Campus Map webpage for more information.
