Term Dates

The academic year is divided into two semesters: winter semester and summer semester.

The winter semester begins 1 October and ends 31 March.

The summer semester begins 1 April and ends 30 September.

Only during part of the semester do  courses take place. There are two long semester breaks when examinations take place and students write their seminar papers or do lab courses.
