If you are thinking about applying for repeat teaching we encourage you to talk to your department or other support staff as soon as you can. You might have other options, including interruption or deferral, and the university can help you to decide what is best for your situation.
Repeat teaching applications for the 2025-26 academic year are now closed. Repeat Teaching will reopen for the Spring Break application period from Tuesday 7 April 2026 to Friday 8 May 2026, inclusive.
There are two application periods for repeat teaching – during spring break at the end of the winter term and following the July results period at the end of spring term.
If you have missed the deadline to apply for interruption in winter term you can apply for a full year of repeat teaching.
Application dates change each year depending on term dates. The sooner you apply, the sooner you will receive your decision.
Please be aware that late applications cannot be accepted.
