Check your programme induction schedule

Your welcome programme induction is your chance to get important information about your course, meet your lecturers and get to know your fellow students.
Your induction will likely take place the week beginning Monday 23 September. However, some Health and Education programmes often start earlier in September. Once your place has been confirmed, you will be emailed with details for your Programme Induction. From mid-August, you will also be able to see your full schedule within the MDXapp and myUniHub.
If you are a CPD or Postgraduate Research student, all information will be sent via email. Please check your junk inbox if you haven't received your schedule information or contact UniHelp.

View your timetable
Once you enrol, you'll be able to view your teaching timetable but it can take up to one week so keep checking the MDXApp for updates. To access your teaching timetable, log into the MDXapp and click the timetable tile.
You can also access your teaching timetable by logging into myUniHub.
Change your timetable
You may be able to make lesson changes yourself in myUniHub within the first two teaching weeks. However, this will be subject to the conditions set by your module or programme leader, student capacity and number of sessions available. If only one session is running, it cannot be changed. Please refer to ‘Change your timetable’ in myUniHub.
If you have any problems with your timetable, please contact UniHelp.
Optional modules
You should register for your optional modules as soon as possible. Please see your programme handbook or Programme Leader for more information.
Academic calendar
The University’s Academic Calendar gives you the key dates of the current academic year, such as term start and end dates, holidays, exam weeks and result publication dates.
Your teaching week
Teaching will typically start week beginning Monday 30th September 2019 with seminars and tutorials usually taking place in the second week.
Please check your timetable regularly as it is subject to change and may be updated.
My attendance
It’s important you register your attendance in all your timetabled classes, workshops or seminars by checking-in via MDXapp or myUniHub. This will also allow you to receive automated alerts, reminding you which of your sessions are coming up and where they are taking place.
Further information including how to use the new system and a full list of FAQs will be published on UniHub before your classes begin in September/October.
If your attendance doesn't meet the set requirements for your course, you may not be able to take the assessments.
Studying one of these?
Your timetable might be delivered in a slightly different way so make sure you know how and when to expect your full schedule.
Nursing
If you are studying the BSc Nursing, you won't be able to view your timetable online. It will be sent to you....
Art and Design, Education, Music, Theatre Arts and Dance
If you are studying one of these courses, you may have additional sessions, workshops, practices or recitals and will receive full information on these from your module and Programme Leaders.
Part-time students
As a part-time student, you may find that you've been allocated to teaching sessions via the student allocation process. However, it's best to discuss which modules you're studying with your Programme Leader and then register for the appropriate modules. The earlier this is undertaken, the earlier your teaching timetable will be available.
Postgraduate research students
If you're studying a research degree, you won't have a timetable as your course is designed to be led by you and your particular topic of interest.
Apprenticeships
If you are studying an apprenticeship, you won’t be able to view your timetable online. Details on any scheduled workshops and sessions will be sent to you. As an apprentice, your studies are funded via the apprenticeship levy which means you are not responsible for the payment of your fees. Your fees will automatically be paid via the levy and this is arranged between your employer and the university.
