Term dates

Plymouth University's academic year is structured around terms and not semesters. Below are current standard* term dates.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the dates below are accurate. However, students should note that dates are subject to change.
If you have to make up any placement hours which are missed during the academic year this will be done during holiday periods.
