    Study period just means time off to study, there's nothing to attend

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I heard that lecturers sometimes hold classes to cover stuff that will come up on the exams.

    Some lectures may hold tutorials to go over things yeah, this is at their discretion though and are not compulsory, personally I've never gone to one.

    Thats sound. So basically the holidays you get at Xmas run all the way until the exams ? That is pretty long. It works out at just over a month.

    Yeah it's a long time alright, longest in the country I think. I heard they're looking at changing it so exams are before Christmas, won't come into effect for a few years I'd say though.

    Yeah, DCU is one of the few colleges, if not the only one, that has exams post Christmas. It's good and bad depending on what you like :pac:
