13 March: Publication of 2026/27 Module Catalogue

16 February 2026

Key dates in the lead up to module selection for continuing students

The 2026/27 Module Catalogue is scheduled to be updated between 10 and 13 March 2026 to reflect any changes to module details and deliveries for the next academic year. Although the catalogue will be unavailable during this period, staff will be able to download the 2025/26 content via Portico using the Module Information Documents task in Curriculum Data Maintenance container.

The updated catalogue will contain the latest information about modules running in 2026/27 to support continuing students with module selection in advance of the Portico task opening to students on Monday 13 April. Links to the online timetable will be available from 30 April

Module details and deliveries must be updated in Portico by Friday 27 February to appear in the catalogue. The second refresh of the catalogue will take place in the summer after the final review of modules.

In this updated edition, percentage weightings for assessment components will continue to be combined where the module catalogue categories are the same. To provide greater clarity, the number of assessments will also now be displayed. For example:

  • 10% Coursework
  • 10% Coursework
