Academic Operations

The start and end dates of teaching operations are determined separately for each degree programme and are adjusted annually.

This academic calendar forms part of the university of applied sciences regulations and is redefined for each academic year, with the exception of the standard semester duration.

Public holidays are listed in functional terms to keep the calendar clear and inclusive for an international student community. On public holidays and scheduled breaks, no regular teaching activities are planned. Availability of buildings and student services may differ per institution.

Specific national public holiday names may vary by country and can be checked through the relevant host institution. Subject to change.
