Academic calendar
The academic year is divided into two semesters:
- Winter semester from late September to January
- Summer semester from February to June
Each semester consists of 12-13 weeks of classes followed by an examination period. Classes usually take 45 or 90 minutes.
An Orientation Programme is preceding the beginning of classes, starting a week before regular classes start. It is strongly recommended that incoming students participate in this programme. Students of Medicine may start earlier than students of other faculties, therefore they are recommended to check the beginning of their study programme with the Medical Faculty coordinator. With approval from respective departments students can take examinations also before the official examination period.
