The University is committed to promoting public understanding of its activities through the publication of routine information required by staff, students and the public. For some of the most common documents please see the Related Links set out below.
General enquiries from prospective students should be made via our askBU enquiries service and requests from current students should be sent to askBU students.
Requests for copies of your exam scripts can be made direct to your Programme Administrator. You should make your request in writing, providing as much information about your exam as possible and enclosing the £10 subject access fee and proof of your identity.
If you wish to access your exam script for a tutorial and do not wish to retain a copy, this can normally be arranged for no fee providing that the script is not taken away from the University.
Requests for information about you (other than for exam transcripts) should be submitted to the Information Officer under the University’s Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) process.
For details of the types of information which the University or its wholly owned subsidiaries routinely publish please visit our Publication scheme webpage.
Enquiries about the University’s publication scheme (or those of its wholly owned subsidiaries) and requests for information under section 1 of the FOIA or section 5 of EIR should be sent to the University's Information Officer.
