Term dates

The Royal Agricultural University is now similar to the majority of other UK Universities and operates its academic delivery via Semesters. There are two Semesters, which span the Christmas vacation period in Semester 1, and the Easter vacation period in Semester 2.

 However, we also publish Term Dates as these align to how the Student Loan Company operates (for Undergraduate Maintenance Loans), so students who are in receipt of funding will know when they can expect their payments.
