2024/2025 term dates

The academic year is split into terms during which students are required to engage with study. The length and pattern of the terms depend on the type of programme the student is studying. The period between each of the terms is normally a holiday period.

The University closes over the Christmas period.

All courses follow the standard term dates unless the programme is listed in the non-standard term dates section below:
