UPDATED - 6th Dec 2010 - check item #1 below (in green) to see if you or your friends are affected.

EXAM Timetable - check the draft here, date are 99% confirmed. Once venues are assigned, a final and confirmed timetable will be posted here and noticeboard. Please inform PL if any exams are missing. (Students who are eligible for special resits will be informed later once confirmed by Keele)

Turn it in Guide - Resubmissions will be delayed. Read page 14/68 of this GUIDE.

Note - there are some delays in confirming the exam timetable but it will not defer much from Keele's exam timetable available on their website.

2. Exam timetable will be released next week. But to get a rough idea on how it looks like, please go to this website. KDU generally follows 99% unless it falls on a public holiday. There may be some changes to the times but the dates normally stay the same. Also there are some subjects not listed yet.

3. Start date for next semester - proposed 14 February 2011. Please look at the same website about to find out when the exam periods are for Year 1, 2 and Year 3. February 2011 will be a shorter semester, hence classes will be longer per week.

4. There will be a long semester break (summer break) from beginning of June until mid of September 2011. During this period, students may opt to go back home, holiday or work part time / internship. If I have any internship opportunities, I will post it on the noticeboard and on the blog.

Information on internship

- As a Keele student, internship is optional and its on the student's own initiative.
- Internship position advertised in KDU are not guaranteed positions, students still need to provide CV and attend interviews with the respective companies
- If internship advertisements are not available, students may look for companies on their own and KDU will provide supporting documents that you are a student here
- Salary / allowance will be provided but it will be minimal. The important outcome from internship is not the salary / allowance but the experience.
- Internship positions are normally for about 3 months (depending on companies), if any longer, please advise the company on your semester's commencement date
- Internships ARE how the real working life is, professionalism, responsibility etc. must be upheld at all times. If you are good and up to the company's expectations, you will be considered as a full time employee upon graduation.
- Typically, you will begin the hunt for internship positions 1 month before the semester ends, as the company needs to undergo the screening process, interview process etc.
