Exam papers - how to find them

The Library digitises any exam papers received from lecturers and makes them available via the catalogue and Summon.

How to find past exam papers

You can find the exam papers that the Library has digitised by searching the Library Catalogue or Summon.

In the Library catalogue:

Select Exam Papers in the Limit: box
In the Search box, type in a keyword/s from the course name (eg psychology), or part of the course code eg PSYCHOL 6029; click the Search button
Exam papers are in pdf format and will open in Adobe Acrobat (staff and students will need to authenticate with their University ID and password)

In Summon:

Type keywords in the search box, including the keywords 'exam papers' (eg psychology exam papers) or the course code; hit the Go button

Can't find your exam paper?

The main reasons why an exam paper may not be available are:

Your lecturer has not sent the exam paper to the Library
There may not have been exam papers for your subject in previous years
The School does not want them made available to students (that is, exam papers are 'under embargo')

If you can't find the exam paper you want, you should ask your lecturer or School for advice.
