- Enrolment for the MT Intensive courses will open at 9am on Wednesday 20 November (MT24 Week 6) and will close at 12 noon on Friday 6 December (MT24 Week 9)
-
To ensure that we have time to set you up with access to our Virtual Learning Environment (Canvas), please make sure you have enrolled and paid no later than five working days before your course starts.
-
MT = Michaelmas Term (October - December); HT = Hilary Term (January - March); TT = Trinity Term (April-June)
-
* For General and Academic courses, a Stage is made up of three Parts, usually Part 1 is Michaelmas term, Part 2 is Hilary term and Part 3 is Trinity term. However, in some instances we will run another Part 1 in Hilary or Trinity term due to popularity. Please check the timetable carefully. Please note, complete beginners (Stage 1) cannot join Parts 2 or 3 if they have not completed Part 1. Joining the intensive course provides a great opportunity to join the term-time Part 3 course in Trinity term on the beginners' course.
