Imperial Horizons and I-Explore modules run in the autumn and/or spring terms. There is a dedicated time slot for each year group. Departments have been asked by the university to set aside these times, to avoid clashes with your core studies.

Classrooms will be confirmed by email prior to the start of the modules.

Languages assessment dates

I-Explore and Imperial Horizons assessments are very often scheduled in the last weeks of both the autumn and spring terms, in the dedicated timeslots above, so that students are able to attend them.

Practicals for some language modules take place during the summer term: specific dates will be published toward the end of spring term.
