A university has apologised after students sitting a three-hour physics exam were only given two hours to complete it.

The University of Bath said an “administrative error” meant first-year students sitting the Foundations of Physics exam on Tuesday had an hour less.

They added the issue was identified shortly before the start of the exam, but said subsequent room bookings meant it was not possible to extend the session.

Head of the university’s physics department, Professor Ventsislav Valev, said: “We are deeply sorry for the confusion and concern this has caused.”

He continued: “Our priority is to ensure that no student is disadvantaged. We are reviewing our processes to ensure such an error does not occur again.”

A University of Bath spokesperson added results of all assessments are “considered and finalised” by Boards of Examiners but students would be continued to be supported.
