2024-2025 Calendar

The published calendars apply to most taught programmes in the University.  It should be noted however, that there will be some variation in dates for NU Pathway, education, teacher training and some postgraduate programmes, students should check specific programme dates with their faculty and/or associated micro-sites.

Students must ensure their availability to fulfil all academic requirements for their programme of study.

The dates are accurate at the time of publication; the University reserves the right to amend them in the light of changing circumstances.  

Please note that apprenticeship programmes are delivered using a 52-week resource model.  Further details as to programme delivery will be provided during on-boarding.
