Academic calendar

On this page you can find 911±¬ÁÏÍø teaching periods and other key dates

The academic year is divided into two terms: the autumn term begins annually on 1 August and ends on 31 December of that year. The spring term begins annually on 1 January and ends on 31 July of that year.

Teaching periods

In Periods I to IV, the last week is always an evaluation week, in which a variety of methods are employed to assess learning. There are in addition two separate evaluation periods in the autumn term used mainly for examinations. The courses taught in Period V should preferably be ones where the examination does not heavily contribute to the overall assessment, as the examination week will partly or fully take place in June. If a course is compulsory and only one course implementation of it is organised, it should not be scheduled for the summer.
