* Please be aware that due to timetabling constraints some exams may be scheduled in week 12 and/or week 14.
** Graduation is only for eligible students. If you have any failed modules when results are released (end of semester 2 for UG and semester 3 for PG) or you lodge an appeal your graduation will roll over to the next ceremony. A student cannot defer their graduation ceremony.
The dates displayed on this page may not be representative of the calendars for the full duration of a course and they are subject to change. Students should always confirm semester, exam and other assessment dates with their faculty before making travel arrangements.
Further information
There is no formal teaching during the study breaks. Staff and students can use these for study trips, study and assessment or preparation.
The dates given refer to weeks running Monday to Friday (inclusive) but may differ when public holidays mean that the University is closed. The stated dates may be subject to alteration in the light of any subsequent developments affecting the academic year as a result of government policy or other considerations.
