Timetables

Use MyTimetable to find out where and when your classes take place.

The term dates below outline when classes are taking place and are not your personalised timetable. You will need to log-in to the MyTimetable Portal using your LON login details to view a detailed breakdown of when and where your classes take place. Once you have enrolled with us, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access MyTimetable.

Please note that timetables are only published for the upcoming term, timetables for your next term will be published nearer to the start of that term. Check out our FAQs page for further help, you can also email the timetabling team if you would like to speak to someone.

Examination timetables

Assessment timetables are published near examination periods. If you have exams coming up, then you can find the details for them in SharePoint.

Term dates and Academic calendars

The Bloomsbury academic year runs from October to September and is split into three terms. Only students who are studying a postgraduate degree or an accelerated undergraduate degree will have classes in the academic year’s third term.

The PDFs provided below within each dropdown menu outlines key institute-wide dates, teaching, submission and exam periods throughout the academic year. When selecting an academic calendar from the dropdown menu, please note that ‘start’ refers to the beginning of the academic year, which may not coincide with when you began your studies with us.
