Completing your exams and assignments is a huge achievement, and after all the time and effort you’ve put in, you may be wondering what comes next whilst you wait for your final results for the year.
What’s happens next?
Your assessments and exams will be marked and reviewed. This includes a number of important steps behind the scenes to ensure your results are accurate and fully considered. These processes are followed for all students and are designed to be fair and thorough to uphold academic integrity at BU.
Once your results are ready, they’ll be formally published and shared with you. To help you understand your results letter and the terms used, you can use our Assessment FAQ page – it’s a great resource if you want to learn more about how things work.
