University studies involve a range of assessment methods. Many study units include an EXAM examination. These examinations take their name from the EXAM facilities in which they are taken under centralised supervision. Instructional video on taking an electronic examination.
Please also read the EXAM instructions for students. Further information about the EXAM facilities available to you can be found on the TUNI EXAM system homepage. Please pay particular attention to the rules for using examination facilities
PLEASE NOTE: When entering an examination facility, take particular care not to bring in any items that could be interpreted in the examination recording as evidence of attempted cheating. You may only bring proof of identity, an access card and, where applicable, the key to a storage locker into the examination facility.
