The Academic year usually lasts from the end of September to the end of June, although the dates differ slightly each year. There are two semesters each year: the autumn semester, which ends before Christmas, while the spring semester begins the second week in February. Each semester is followed by a five-week exam period.
Apart from the public holidays there are two major vacation periods during each academic year - Christmas vacation in December and summer vacation during July and August.
