Day Students / Non-Residential Schedule Overview 🌞

Day students follow a structured and engaging schedule that mirrors the rhythm of the full residential programme, but without overnight accommodation. Each morning, students arrive on campus within the set arrival window and begin their day with seminars, tutorials, or independent study depending on the timetable. Academic sessions typically run from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with a short morning break to keep them refreshed and focused. ☕📘

Afternoons offer a blend of enrichment and academic development. Day students take part in masterclasses, Q&A sessions, industry insights, city tours, tutorial work, and supervised study. These sessions run from early afternoon until around 5:00 PM, giving students the chance to deepen their understanding, explore new ideas, and fully participate in the academic community. 🌿✨

Evenings include a mix of structured and optional activities. Day students stay for dinner, which is included in the programme, and may join the relaxed evening socials that follow. These events help students unwind, build friendships, and enjoy the campus atmosphere. Evening activities usually finish around 7:00–7:30 PM, though special events like celebratory dinners or end-of-week socials may run slightly later and are sometimes optional. 🌙🎉

Arrival and Departure for Day Students 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️
