Self-study weeks

Self-study weeks take the place of college half-terms in October and February.

The same applies for the return date, students can return to accommodation at a time to suit them.

When will I have to leave?

Our rooms are term time only. You'll be asked to leave your room for the Christmas holiday periods. It is important to note that when you vacate, your room must be cleared of all belongings.
