The UK university academic calendar can be confusing for both British and international students alike, as it is quite different to academic schedules in other parts of the world, and indeed other parts of the British education system. Here is a quick guide to the UK academic calendar and what it means for you as a postgrad student. If your university academic calendar is split into terms, then you will usually have your academic year cut into three sections.
It is quite common for universities to set projects or essays for each term with due dates for the end of term, so if that applies to you then try keep early December and early March as free as possible.
Terms are more common in older universities and at some institutions they even have special names: for example at the University of Oxford the three terms are called Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity, while at Durham University they are Michaelmas, Epiphany and Easter.
Semesters, where the school year is split into two, echo the structure of American universities and is becoming much more common in the UK. Universities like the University of Liverpool use the semester system so that they can alternate the timetables through the year, meaning you may have different classes and class times at different points during the year.
