The Standard Pre-sessional course is a 10-week contract from 24 June – 30 August 2024.

They must however be based in the UK for the duration of the course. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide any campus accommodation for these posts.
CONTRACT:
Due to recruitment being so close to the course start date, applicants will be placed on an ‘As and When’ contract. You will be paid hourly, which means time taken off won’t be paid.
