TIMETABLES THAT FIT AROUND YOU

The Majority of our Courses are Two Days Per Week

When studied full-time, the majority of courses at University Centre Peterborough have lectures timetabled as two full days a week over two semesters per year. Part-time courses have one to two full days a week over two semesters per year. The days of the week you study may change each year.

We are able to offer this convenient timetabling to our students as we are a smaller institution so we can timetable our staff and resources more efficiently. There are some exceptions where full-time courses are one or up to three days a week, and you can find the specific details on our website.

Planning Your Other Days of the Week

This convenient timetabling enables you to better plan your time for independent study and fit the course around personal or work commitments. It can help you to gain parttime work to fund your time at university or work placements and volunteering opportunities to enhance your employability after you graduate.

The Academic Year

There are two semesters per year and each semester is up to 15 weeks which includes up to 12 teaching weeks and 3 assessment weeks.

If studying full-time you will be in classes, seminars and tutorials for approximately 15 hours per week and you will spend the rest of your time in independent study and extra-curricular activities including work placement if not embedded in your course. We recommend that full-time students allow 30 hours per week for additional study.

The campus is open Monday to Friday throughout the year and you will also have 24/7 access to a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) with e-books, journals and abstracts plus teaching resources and interactive tools.

Timetables are available at least 6 weeks before registration and you can refer to the academic calendar at www.ucp.ac.uk for examination weeks and resit periods.
