Yo ho, yo ho! A pirate's life for me. Through laneways and prison bars, we'll meet the seven seas.
Look here, what's that beneath the surface? A secret for now but wear something fit for porpoise.
Tickets are limited, so round up some mates, bring an open mind and Get Wanderlost!

Need an Access Plan for exams?

Check if you meet the criteria for developing an Access Plan and learn more by visiting the Access and Inclusion website.
To be eligible for an Access Plan in time for the SP5 exam period, you will need to book an appointment with an Access and Inclusion Adviser before Monday 28 September. Please
note, requests for adjustments after this date may not be considered for the SP5 exam period.
