This term, like last term and the term before that at the well established University of Aberdeen, they have chosen to make our 3rd year exams (the most important ones that count towards our final degree) at the very start of the exam timetable, one day after another, four days in a row.

I petition this to be changed, giving us a reasonable timetable that will allow us the necessary amount of time in between exams to study for the next one.

Exams can be a very stressful time of year, and I for one think it is unfair that they are making our exams alot more stressful than they should be, engineering is one of the hardest subjects at this university, and it's about time we got some sort of understanding and leeway from the university, after all it is our money paying for all of this.

please sign this petition.

The feedback I have received from fellow students confirms that this schedule is creating a genuine burden during an already demanding academic period. I am currently reaching out to the department heads to request a formal review of the timetable. We deserve a fair opportunity to demonstrate our knowledge without the added pressure of back to back assessments.

Seeing the growing momentum behind this request confirms that the current scheduling creates unnecessary hardship for our cohort. This level of engagement suggests a genuine need for the university to reconsider how they structure our examination periods.
