  • University of Cambridge
  • King's College London
  • London School of Economics and Political Science
  • University of Kent
  • Exeter University
  • University of Lancaster
  • University of Wales, Lampeter
  • University of Wales, Aberystwyth
  • Canterbury Christ Church University
  • University of Liverpool
  • Swansea University
  • Heythrop College, University of London
  • and was the name of the autumn term at the University of Sydney before it swapped over to the two semester system in 1989.

    The term runs from January to March and thus corresponds to Hilary term at Oxford and Dublin, and Epiphany term at Durham. At Sydney, it ran from March to May (10th to 22nd Mondays of the year).
