Understanding your LJMU timetable

Below we guide you through all the essential information regarding your timetables. Additionally, our introductory video provides an overview to ensure you’re up to speed.

Your set of timetables

As an LJMU student you will have access to three timetables.

Induction week timetable

If you are starting your studies in September 2025, you will be able to access your induction week timetable from Thursday 14 August, after you receive confirmation of your place at LJMU.

Most undergraduate students will have an induction week, with a separate induction timetable, while the majority of postgraduate taught courses will begin the week after induction week, with your introductory sessions outlined on your general programme timetable.

If you are starting your studies in January 2026, your induction week sessions will be outlined in your general programme timetable.

Please note:
You can use the filters to find the induction activities and sessions that you must attend. Input your year of study, school and programme name to find your timetable.

You must attend all activities and induction week sessions for your course. This will help to set you up for university life.

General programme timetable

If you are starting your studies in September 2025, you will be able to access your general programme timetable from Friday 5 September.

If you are starting your studies in January 2026, your general timetable will be available online from November 2025.

Your general programme timetable will show all the group and module activities happening on your course. It provides students with an overview of the entire teaching schedule. Don’t worry, your personal timetable will streamline these sessions for you.

Please note:
Each session will list the time, room and duration, along with the type of session. This could be a lecture, seminar, or online via Canvas.

Personal timetable

Once you have completed your student registration and all your modules have been added, you can access your personal timetable. If you are starting your studies in September 2025, you will be able to access your personal timetable from sometime during the week commencing 15 September, once you have completed your student registration.

If you are starting your studies in January 2026, you will be able to access your personal timetable in mid-January.

Your personal timetable shows you which group and module activities you should attend for your course and is tailored to you.

Please note:
Some courses may not have personal timetables, and this will be clear when you try to view yours.

Accessing your timetables

You can access your induction and programme timetables on the Timetables platform.

Your personal timetable will be added to your My LJMU account under My Timetable once you are fully enrolled on all your modules.

Please note:
Most of our students start their studies in September each year. Students starting their studies at other times in the year will be contacted directly about their course start date and induction.

I still need help understanding my timetables

As an LJMU student, you must attend all your timetabled sessions throughout induction week and the academic year.

You can find more information on the student timetable guidance webpage if you need further help. This includes an explanation of the room and building codes used in your timetable.

If you have further questions about your timetables, please submit a student enquiry form on My LJMU.
