University Term Dates

Ever wondered what University Term dates are like here at Kingston? Coming from the perspective of an international student, it took a while to adjust to a different academic calendar than the one I was used to!
Here at Kingston university the academic term is split into three terms!

Autumn Term - Monday 25 September 2023 to Friday 15 December 2023

- The first term of the academic year is usually the most exciting! With events like freshers fair and welcome week to get you acquainted with your new surroundings and many social events to help you make new friends from people of different backgrounds and courses. :colondollar:

- If you are an art and design student like myself, this is the best time to try out new mediums and familiarise yourself with the different workshops and facilities the uni has to offer!

- This is also the perfect opportunity to explore different clubs and societies according to your interests or try something new! :wink:

Spring Term - Monday 8 January 2024 to Friday 29 March 2024

- The spring term is usually one of the busier terms as graduating students are rushing to complete their dissertations and workshops get busier in anticipation of the final submissions!

Summer Term - Monday 15 April 2024 to Friday 28 June 2024

- Summer term starts just after the spring break and is usually the exam season for most undergraduate students!

- However, some art and design courses at Kingston School of the Arts finish the bulk of their submissions before the spring break in preparation for the art degree showcases during the summer!

I hope this short post helps in introducing the events that happen throughout the academic calendar. :u:

Hi,

I know that when I moved to Kingston the foundation students had already moved in as the course does start a little earlier. The official start of term is 16th September, so it should be around this time.

I would say the best thing to do is contact your course leader and keep an eye on your emails. Have you had any emails yet about the course?

Alternatively you could contact admissions. Make sure to put your Kingston ID and full name in the subject of the email.

I hope this helps! And if you do find out the date it would be great if you could share it here as I think a few people are wondering the same thing :smile:

Hi, yes the art foundation course starts on the 10th September if anyone was wondering - not sure what term dates look like but I’m sure that will be told soon enough!

Hi!

I hope you are excited to join the uni in September! I am biased, with being an art student, but I love the KSA and hope you do too :smile:

You will receive your term dates when your timetable will come out. I remember this being around late August, early September.

For main term dates, these are on our website: https://www.kingston.ac.uk/aboutkingstonuniversity/howtheuniversityworks/termdates/

However, the timetable will offer you a specialised and more in depth term time for you.

I hope this helped and let me know if you have any questions!

Hi,

I found out that foundation students will be moving into accommodation around 5th September so the 10th makes sense for the start date of the course.

Hope this helps!
