2026/2027 term dates

The academic year is divided into terms, during which students are expected to engage with their studies. The number and pattern of terms vary depending on the programme being studied, with holiday periods normally falling between terms.

Unless listed in the Non-standard term dates section below, all programmes follow the University’s standard term dates.

These dates are provided as a guide to the University’s teaching and holiday periods. Some programmes may require attendance outside these dates. Before booking holidays, students should check their timetable and confirm any attendance requirements with their School or Department.

The term dates below are shared with the Student Loans Company (SLC) to confirm your funding eligibility. They are also used to assess your tuition fee liability if you suspend or withdraw from your course. These dates are not intended for planning holidays.

At the start of your course, you will receive a training plan with full details of your university attendance, placement periods, and holiday breaks.

While term dates show the overall period you are expected to be engaged with your programme, they may not include all holiday periods. Although breaks often fall at the end of each term, some courses may also include mid-term holidays which are not reflected in the published term dates. This is because some professional programmes do not follow the same holiday patterns as non-professional programmes. Your training plan will confirm the full details of your attendance and should be used as your main reference, as dates may change.

If you need more specific information about when you are required to attend, please contact your department.
