This week, our Executive Board set out a plan for the year 2021-22. Here’s how the next academic year will look…

There will be a one-week induction on the week commencing 20 September 2021. Teaching on most programmes will start on 27 September 2021.
 
The semester will last for 12 weeks, with an enrichment week, to allow you to pause and reflect on your learning, or to explore new skills. During the enrichment week we’ll be running an engaging programme of events for you to take part in.
