Term dates

The dates given are for the standard University terms. Our teaching year is 30 weeks long for many of our undergraduate courses. We split this into three terms.

Term dates may vary. This is particularly true for:

  • courses taught at specific locations,
  • our postgraduate courses, which can run for a full 12 months from their start date, and
  • apprenticeships.
