Academic Calendar

Key dates in the academic calendar for the University of Wolverhampton

Our academic calendar is organised into semesters, each consisting of 12 weeks of teaching activities. Although each course differs slightly in the way it is organised, the majority of our courses use the timings of these semesters to schedule the delivery of your modules.

The calendar includes a combination of teaching weeks, revision weeks, and assessment weeks. Unlike schools and colleges, we don’t have half terms, but on occasion, teaching is paused for a week so that students can engage with wider aspects of University life, eg. Welcome Week and Career Development Week.

 

2024 - 25 Academic Calendar

Each academic year has three teaching semesters. You can access your personalised teaching timetable in the myWLV app once you've fully completed your enrolment.
