Your programme will fit within the dates outlined below, however, some courses will vary. There may be times when you need to complete assessments or work based learning, or when additional sessions are offered outside of these dates.
The assessment period begins in June and many programmes will have no formal teaching after this point. You should check your handbook for the academic calendar of activity that is specific for your programme for the exact dates you will be in attendance.
During scheduled HECPD (staff training) there will be no formal teaching and limited access to the library.
