I’m an early riser, but not all people are. Some people are more awake in the afternoons, some people don’t really wake up until the evenings. So, how come all full-time education seems to start around 9am-10am?

I know that night school is a thing, but that’s really targeted at people who want to study over many years around their other commitments (e.g. a day job). I’m talking about full-time three- or four-year bachelor’s degrees and above (though exactly the same logic applies to all education really). Surely there’s enough demand for at least a couple of top-class full-time education establishments that don’t even open their doors until lunchtime?

    I suspect the main reason is the inertia of the 9-5 that most of the world revolves around. You’d struggle to recruit staff to teach, techs to maintain buildings and stock required if they had to work permanently on late shifts.

      My engineering classes had one time option a year (not just per semester but only offered once a year) and none of them were offered later than 2pm
