Academic calendar

Over the summer (or autumn, if coming for the Spring semester only) months you will receive from the University's central administration the programme of events during the induction (orientation) week.  You are reminded that all Exchange students must attend the following events, when I will have the opportunity to meet you personally, sign your arrival certificates and/or learning agreements and outline the many very important details that are relevant for this group of students.  

MODULES TIMETABLE

The detailed timetable for each module can be found by clicking here Enter the module code and make sure you select the weekly view and move the calendar forward to beginning of October or following February.  As demands for resources and delivery are prepared over the summer months, the timetables will be populated with live data sometime in August.

ITDS (Information Technology and Digital Services) at Induction Week

During Induction week, ITDS will be out on both the Paisley and Lanarkshire campuses ready to answer quick questions. Although they will be around for induction week, the department will also be providing drop in sessions for students and staff in the following weeks to share more about some of the exciting products that have been developed. Even though they will be answering questions that new students have, they will also be on campus to answer any questions from staff.  Why not pop down and see them?
