NOTES
- Start and finish dates for students on a small number of programmes may differ, specifically those with extensive work experience placements e.g. Veterinary Science, Nursing and PGCE students. Students must check with their department.
- Vacation period for full-time undergraduate and postgraduate taught students, and for students on the International Foundation Programme. Formal, timetabled classes will not take place during vacation periods, but fieldwork, work experience placements and other activities may do.
- Induction at the beginning of semester 1 is an integral part of the academic year. Students are expected to be resident in Aberystwyth and to participate in activities as arranged by the University.
- The period from the end of Semester 2 to the beginning of the following session is a vacation period for full-time undergraduate students and for students on the International Foundation Programme. Students should however ensure that they are available to take resit exams in Aberystwyth during the August Resit Assessment period. Note that full-time postgraduate taught students will continue to pursue their studies during this period.
- Full-time postgraduate research students are required to be resident in Aberystwyth for 44 weeks a year, with the remaining 8 weeks to be taken as conditional leave. The timing of postgraduate research leave will be determined in discussion between student and supervisor, but does not need to coincide with the University vacation periods which are published in the dates of term.
