Teaching takes place in two semesters – both with an eleven week teaching period followed by a formal assessment period. You must register for classes before the beginning of each academic year. The University’s web page on Registration<\/a> provides detailed information about how to register.<\/p>\n

During the week before the teaching in the first semester officially begins, you will have pre-term registration and welcome meetings. The normal course timetables<\/a> start on Monday 19th September 2016. The second semester course timetables<\/a> start on Monday 16th January 2017. You can consult the class timetables<\/a> to find the timetable for a particular class. To work out where lectures, labs and tutorials are held, you will need to understand the University Building Codes<\/a> that are used to describe the locations of rooms, and you may need to consult the University Campus maps<\/a>. You will also need to be able to understand the week numbers that are used on the central timetables so please consult the 2016-2017 Week Labels<\/a>. In general you must attend all of the lectures associated with each class as well as one computer lab or one tutorial. In addition to fixed lecture, tutorial and lab times – our labs tend to be open for longer periods for unsupervised work (see lab access times<\/a>) – you are expected to carry out a considerable amount of work outside fixed contact hours.<\/p>\n

For individual class deadlines (including project deadlines) see the individual class descriptions which are accessible both via the syllabuses page<\/a> as well as via the curriculum page<\/a>. For exam information<\/a> and exam dates see Pegasus<\/a> for a personalised exam timetable in the build up to the exam period.<\/p>\n
