Exam time is approaching again, and you may find it useful to look at recent past exam papers for your class. The Semester 1 exams are scheduled from 9 December 2024 till 20 December 2024.

How to find exam papers

University of Strathclyde staff and registered students can view past exam papers. Here are the various ways to access them:

  • SUPrimo library search (access from the library website or mobile app) 
    Search by class code or class title and set the search scope to ‘Exam Papers’.  
  • Myplace  
    Select ‘Exam Papers’ in the Library Links box, usually found at the right of your class page.
  • Additional papers on Myplace 
    Sometimes teaching staff will upload more exam papers to their Myplace class pages, so be sure to check.

If we have exam papers for your class you will be able to view them on and off campus. Use your university email address and password to access them.

Exam paper availability

Not all past exam papers are available online. Each department will decide which papers to make available. For example, some departments may choose not to release multiple choice or August resit papers.  

Past papers are available for a period of three years. For example, a May 2022 paper will be due for removal in 2025.

If you can’t find a specific paper, you may wish to contact your department for further information.
