The terms dates below are for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Whilst our course content is structured in semesters (teaching blocks), study periods are organised into terms, with holiday between them.
We design course timetables to ensure you have time for work-based and leisure activities alongside. Our students make the most of volunteer, work experiences part-time job roles and social activities alongside their studies. The dates below will help you to plan your time.
