Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses generally start in September.  At the beginning of September students will receive confirmation of the course start date and details from the School of Lifelong Learning School Office via letter and email. 

Note: courses will run subject to sufficient numbers of students applying. If a course has to be cancelled we will make every effort to offer students an alternative course or refund students the full tuition fee.

Most part-time courses take place in the evening and/or Saturdays. Indicative times and days are set out in each Course Description.
