Studying at university comes with a lot of new experiences, including your course convenors expectations of you and how you will be assessed. Amongst all this, it can be especially jarring to get back an exam or an essay with a grade that just feels.. wrong.

If this has happened to you, or if it happens to you in the future, there’s a silver lining: in UK universities, you are allowed to question and contest your grades. Contesting your grade is your right as a student and it does not make you difficult, dramatic, or ungrateful. It is a system that exists to ensure assessment is fair.
