Postgraduate Modules 2026

The presentation mode of postgraduate modules has been amended for 2026. Modules are presented in three windows (or slots), each 13 weeks long. All contents of a module will be presented and examined within the applicable slot. Slots are not linked to typical semester or term dates of the undergraduate calendar. Students are able to take up to two modules per slot.

Slot dates:

The format of module presentation has also been amended, as we move away from a block-week format. Most modules are presented over the course of a few weeks, for one or two days a week. Lectures may be online, in-person, or hybrid (option to attend either online or in-person). 

Note that online and hybrid lectures are synchronous. This means that students attending online must be present during class time and will be called to actively participate during lectures. Recordings of lectures will not be made available. Part time students are required to take study leave to attend lecture days and should be able to attend lectures online without interruption.
