Timetable
The google calendar timetable below is 'live' and will help you to plan your year. This timetable may change slightly before the start of the Programme, but any changes will be minor ones.
Please note that this is the most accurate and up-to-date timetable – more so than those to be found in Learn or elsewhere on the University systems.
As you can see from the calendar and information above, your programme begins earlier than most University Masters programmes and is taught in blocks. As such, your schedule may not necessarily align with the University's academic calendar. Below, you will find an indicative calendar for most other Moray House Masters programmes. These details below can provide you with some information on the University's Welcome Week activities, and graduation, should you wish to participate in these.
