The University's Academic Calendar now includes an intensive Winter Term of 7 weeks usually in June and July. 

You can find out when Winter Term occurs by visiting our Principal Dates page.

Winter Term gives you greater flexibility and opportunity because

• you may shorten the length of your degree by taking more units of study in a year. 
• you may lessen your study load by spreading your study across three teaching periods in a year.  In other words, it will give you even greater control over your studies.
• Some courses even allow you to commence your studies in Winter Term.

Of course, how you design your study program will be up to you.  It will not be compulsory for you to study in the Winter Term - it is just another option for you to consider.  A full time study load will remain at 24 credit points i.e. generally 8 units of study.
