When marks and feedback are published

Marks and feedback are automatically released 20 working days after the submission deadline, including for late submissions, via the assessment portals on Space.

If you have an LD extension or approved additional consideration, the 20-day count starts on the extended submission deadline date; even if you submit your assignment late after the extended deadline.

How assessments are marked

Who marks your assessments:

• Academic staff from Leeds Conservatoire; all of whom have recognised teacher status from the University of Hull to ensure academics are suitably qualified to set assignments, teach, mark work and write feedback.
• External Assessors who are industry specialists and often work at other conservatoire or at other higher education organisations, depending on their specialism. External assessors mainly work on finalist assessments to ensure an impartial and external context.
• Industry professionals for modules where work is directly linked to current industry practice.

How your work is assessed:

To ensure parity, assessments are marked against a set of assessment criteria.

Relevant criteria for each assessment are included on the assessment brief, or you can browse the full list of criteria.

Leeds Conservatoire’s assessment criteria is based on the University of Hull’s institutional criteria, as our validating body.
