      Academic Calendar

      The academic year consists of two semesters, an autumn semester and a spring semester, each extending over 20 weeks. The autumn semester runs from the end of August to mid-January, and the spring semester from mid-January to mid-June.

      No regular breaks

      There are no regular breaks in the academic calendar. However, it is common to find there are no or few classes around Christmas and Easter.

      Please note that the autumn semester continues after Christmas & New Year holidays (and sometimes in between!) so check your schedule!

      Exams at the end of a semester

      Students studying during only one semester have the possibility to take exams offered after December 22nd/August 1st as distance exams at their home/destination university.

      Observe! Students staying an entire academic year must be back for exams in January/August, for more information see: Distance Examination (Student Portal).
