Written examinations are currently subject to anonymous marking.

Anonymity is lifted after the marking process is complete before meetings of Boards of Examiners and progress boards.

While anonymous marking is not always feasible for coursework, it is  generally encouraged where appropriate and practicable. Faculties are expected to have their own methods for safeguarding student anonymity during the process, but it should be lifted when internal marking is complete for the purpose of student feedback.
