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 International Academy (BIA) and at our Dubai campus also vary slightly from the main academic calendars. Details are available here: 

You can find future years' term dates on the University's main term dates page. Dates provided are correct at the time of publication, but may be subject to change.
