²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ will transition to a new 'flex-semester' calendar, designed with your feedback in mind!

Flex-semesters set to launch in 2028

Our evolved 'flex-semester' calendar will improve your academic experience and support you with managing work opportunities while studying. Its key features include:

  • Two semesters, each with 12 weeks of teaching and a mid-semester break
  • Two optional six-week summer and winter terms for short or intensive courses
  • Room to introduce more flexible study options in the future and expand our lifelong learning offerings, thanks to alignment with our hexamester (six-term) calendar.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out if you have any inquiries. The Academic Calendar Project team will continue working with staff and students over the next three years to understand where transition support is required. Learn more about our new academic calendar.
