Academic year dates may vary for some programmes of study. In particular, the dates for
professional programmes (such as clinical, education and social work programmes) and
taught postgraduate programmes (especially those undertaken as continuing
professional development) may vary, so please check your offer letter and all
communications from your School or Department regarding academic year dates.

The academic calendars for programmes of study taught by our Birmingham
