Timetabling & Room Booking Policy

The Timetabling & Room Booking Policy was approved by UBTLSE in March 2026 for the building and publication of the 2026/7 timetable, as well as future timetables.

Timetabling and Room Booking Policy

Policy key principles

The key principles for the policy were ordained by Peter Miskell, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Education & Student Experience.  These are:

• That a ‘right first-time' approach is central to a timetabling policy.
• That a consistent, regular weekly pattern of teaching is the desired mode of delivery for the majority of modules.
• That essential programme activities should be timetabled.
• That post-publication changes to the timetable should be kept to an absolute minimum.
• That the University must make efficient use of its resources to achieve the required growth in student numbers.

Frequently asked questions about the timetable for staff can be found on the FAQs page.
