Ramadan

Ramadan Guidance

Many of our Muslim staff and students observe the month of Ramadan (a period of fasting). This year, Ramadan starts on the evening of Tuesday 17th February 2026, with the first fast on Wednesday 18th February 2026; and will end on 19th March 2026. The dates depend on the moon sightings based on the lunar calendar.

This guidance aims to raise staff awareness of this important event for University of Leeds students, staff and visitors and its impact on workplace and student education activities.
