The calendar is defined in the Rector's Directives, stipulating the start dates of semesters, the university holiday schedule, and the end date of the academic year. The calendar also indicates the period during which students can enrol for course units provided by their faculty or other faculties.
The academic year is divided into two semesters (winter and summer). Each semester consists of teaching periods, examination periods and holiday.
The winter semester begins at the start of October and the summer semester in the middle of February.
