2023/2024
The academic year is divided into two semesters, fall and spring. Each semester contains between 12 and 14 weeks of lectures followed by an examination period of approximately six weeks. If necessary, special examination arrangements can be made for international students; usually, the end of the spring term for international students is 30th June in order to enable them to finish their courses before the summer vacation.
