title📢 Important Information

Deadline for swapping POVD/Open Day slots - 24 Jan

As you know we are switching to a fairer system for the staffing of Post-Offer Visit and Open days. The rota for 2023/24 is now complete and was emailed out to all staff on 20 Dec. Please click on the link to plan ahead and make a note of your allocated slots in your diary/calendar.

The slots have been allocated by programme leaders based on preferences/constraints and the new open day rota policy. If you are happy with your slots you don't need to do anything else. If you are assigned a slot for which you are not available it is your responsibility (not the PL's) to swap it with someone else in your teaching group. You'll have until 24 January to arrange this as the rota will be fixed from that date.

Well-run POV and Open Days days are critical for successful recruitment of our future students, especially in the current financial climate. Many thanks for your help and support!

Prof. Roland Gehrels, Head of Department


Semester Dates and Teaching Weeks

If you need a reminder of the teaching weeks for Semester 2, you can find the dates on this UOY Semesters Guide Poster. Teaching week 1 will be on the week beginning Monday 12th February. 


Coffee Mornings now on Wednesdays 10:30

Our weekly coffee mornings have moved to Wednesdays from now until the end of the academic year. By switching the day of the week each semester, it is hoped this will make it possible for part-time members of staff to come along should they wish. 

If one of your new year's resolutions is to spread kindness and joy, then do sign up to the Coffee Morning rota and you will be blessed with eternal glory..... Or at least first access to the leftover biscuits 🍪 😏
