Below is the full 2025 January Start Session Planner - Taught Postgraduates. You may notice your course calendar commences on 'Week 20', this is because our 'standard University year' runs from September to September. 

Please note, postgraduate programmes can vary according to individual patterns of study. Courses may have extended terms or may require you to study continuously for all or part of the programme. 

Full time postgraduates are expected to study continuously over the summer. To confirm extended term dates, please contact your Faculty

The University reserves the right to change dates up until the start of each term.
