Key dates

The academic year is traditionally organised into three terms but only a small number of programmes at LSBU are organised in this way. Most of our programmes are organised by semesters and our academic year incorporates two semesters, each lasting 15 weeks.

If you are a student you can find a detailed University calendar within the My LSBU. LSBU staff can find a version within the Staff Gateway.
