Applications for the Autumn 2025 examination session will open by 5pm on Friday 29 May and close Friday 3 July. The withdrawal deadline (full refund of fee without extenuating circumstances) is Friday 17 July (please note this deadline does not apply in circumstances beyond your control such as illness, travel restrictions). Any requests for Reasonable Adjustments to the examinations should also be made no later than Friday 17 July.
. Examination entries will be confirmed by 5pm on Friday 31 July.
The examination period will be from Monday 21 September to Friday 30 October with Part 1 examinations taking place in the first week of the period. Results will be issued on Friday 20 November.
Whilst we aim to have all examination dates finalised ahead of the closing deadline, for some examinations this will be dependent on the number of candidates and so the dates for these may only be finalised after the application closing date. Once known, dates will be published below.
