Our timetables are arranged on a number of student-informed principles:
- We run a similar academic year to the University of the West of Scotland – 2 terms of 15 weeks – this means students are registering and enrolling at the same time as other students.
- There are 12 classes per module spread over 13 or 14 weeks allowing for a reading week in Term 1 and 2 reading weeks in Term 2 (including Easter). The other weeks are orientation or assessment weeks.
- Our classes tend to be concentrated around the middle of the week (Tue – Thu) recognising that many in part-time work and / or ministry require weekends to undertake these responsibilities.
- Our classes begin at 10am on-campus to help with those who are commuting / drop children off at school.
- Our evening classes begin at 7:15pm to help those with family or work commitments (though we realise no time is perfect!)
- Where possible, our reading weeks try to align with school holidays – the October week in Term 1 and Easter in Term 2.
