Term 1: Thursday 30 August – Friday 21 December, 2012
Teaching begins on Monday 3 September 2012. Students are asked to arrive from the afternoon of Thursday 30 August for the College Induction and Welcome Supper the next day.
Christmas and New Year
The College closes between Christmas and New Year, when all resident students, staff and others in the College community are expected to leave (resident students may leave belongings in their rooms).
Term 2: Wednesday 2 January 2013 – Friday 26 April 2013
Students may arrive back at the College after the Christmas and New Year holiday from Tuesday 1 January 2013 (note this day is a UK Bank Holiday).
The term ends on Friday 26 April. Resident students will be expected to leave the College at this time to work on their dissertation projects. Some students may choose to remain living in the local area, and continue to use College facilities (i.e. the library and computers) throughout the course programme through to late July, when the Dartington International Summer School begins.
International Summer School – Summer 2013
From late July through August 2013 the College and its accommodation blocks are occupied by visiting musicians who attend the Dartington International Summer Music School. Masters students may still use the computer room and the College library by special arrangement, but there are no snack or meal facilities in the College during this time.
