Getting your results and visa

Getting your results

• You must upload all your documents and meet all your conditions as early as possible and before 14 July, to secure your place on the course.

Timetables and term dates

We know that you’ll be keen to see your timetable for your first year, and although this won’t be available until early September, we can give you some general information about what to expect.

We divide the academic year into three terms, known as trimesters - each trimester is 13 weeks (39 weeks in total). The dates that your course starts and finishes within these weeks will vary, as all courses vary slightly in length.

See our term dates page for an overview of the 2026/27 academic year, including a breakdown of each trimester

Accommodation and settling in

If you're staying in Peel Park Quarter or John Lester and Eddie Colman Courts, Campus Living Villages will email you closer to the start to term to invite you to book your time of arrival. There will be options to arrive outside of normal working hours, so no matter how far you’re travelling from, you’ll be able to move in at a time that suits you.

Lots of students arrive around the same time, so follow CLV's instructions carefully to make the process as smooth as possible.

If you are staying in different student accommodation, your accommodation provider will be in touch with you directly.

Please visit our looking for accommodation page for advice if you're still searching for somewhere to live.

Welcome Week

Welcome Week starts on Monday 7 September. It's a full week of activities to help you get settled in, meet teaching staff, learn more about your course and make friends. It's designed to help you hit the ground running and feel at home from day one.

You'll get a timetable of induction activities specifically for your course, and there will also be loads of other fun events to help you settle in and make friends. Watch the video below to see what's in store.
