On this page you can find information about semester and session dates approved by the Academic Standards and Policy Committee, and the University Calendars workstream, which is delivering changes to how we manage and publish our University calendars.
Semester and session dates for the 2026 academic year were approved by the Academic Standards and Policy Committee on 14 October 2025, and are published on the Key Dates webpage. Please note dates may be subject to change, and any updates will be reflected on the Key Dates page.
Each year, dates are carefully reviewed and quality assured by operational teams before being endorsed by the University Calendars Advisory Group, chaired by teh Deputy Registrar and Executive Director (Curriculum and Policy). Endorsed dates are then submitted to the Academic Standards and Policy Committee for approval.
For questions related to governance procedures (including requests for variations to dates) please contact Curriulum and Policy (Division of the Academic Registrar). For information on relevant policies, refer to Part 3 Section 13 (Teaching periods) of the Learning and Teaching Policy.
As part of the 2025 governance cycle, it became evident that a review of 2027 teaching sessions is required. The aim of this reveiw is to reduce operational complexity and enhance the student experience. Further information about the Workstream and its objectives will be shared here.
