THE University of Newcastle is investigating a "flexible academic year" that could include different ways of delivering courses.
Vice Chancellor Professor Alex Zelinsky was asked at a wide-ranging all-staff forum on Friday about a rumour that UON will introduce six week teaching terms. "We are looking at a flexible academic year and that could include different ways of delivering courses, but it's very much a consultative piece that's underway," Professor Zelinsky said, before asking Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Mark Hoffman to elaborate.
