At UA92 we are deliberately different in the way that we teach our students. On this page you will find out information about our teaching, our multiple intake dates, timetable, exams and more.

Study one subject module at a time

Unlike other Universities, we study one subject module at a time instead of four modules. At UA92 we refer to these modules as ‘blocks’ in which the subject module will be taught for a period of 6 weeks. This block system means that you will receive an assignment within three weeks of starting. Due to this , it is encouraged to speak to our Disability and Inclusivity Team to see if you would qualify for a Learning Support Plan so this is in place for your first assignment. 

Timetable

You will either study your modules as an AM or PM student, this timetable at UA92 will then be fixed for the rest of your course. This allows you to plan, work and makes it easier to organise your life around your studies. AM classes run from 9-1pm and PM classes run from 2-6pm. See below a diagram of a timetable at UA92 may look like:

Focus On Character & Personal Development

During your blocks we integrate our ‘Programme 92’ which is our character and personal development programme. Programme 92 is embedded into all blocks, in each block you will have character and personal development focus days. On these focus days, you will engage in activities aimed at enhancing your mindset, developing your skillset, and preparing you for future success. To learn more about our Programme 92 click here.

Multiple Start Dates

At UA92, we have multiple intakes. You can start your studies in September, November, January, February, April or June*. September is usually the busiest time, so you might prefer one of the other entry points to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Exams

Here at UA92, the majority of our courses do not have traditional end of year exams. However, courses with external accreditation, such as Accounting and Finance may have exams. Please check with each course programme lead to clarify this for you.

• Check your timetable and be aware of when and where your sessions are.
• Familiarise yourself with the rooms, e.g. you could spend some time there before the session begins (when it is not in use).
• Make sure that you have copies of any required readings or research, well in advance of the sessions.
• Listen to the other students’ ideas and opinions
• If you feel you would be unable to verbally take part in the sessions, speak to the tutor well in advance, and see if they can suggest a reasonable adjustment such as presenting your research as a PowerPoint presentation.

• What do I need to do to prepare for the session?
• Are the reading materials available online?
• Do I know where I have to be and when I have to be there?
• Can I present my research in a visual format? – PowerPoint, Mind map etc?
• Do I know who else is in my session, in case I need to check any details beforehand?
• Is my tutor aware of my autism; do I need to let them know?
