The academic year consists of two semesters, an autumn semester and a spring semester, each extending over 20 weeks. The autumn semester runs from the end of August to mid-January, and the spring semester from mid-January to mid-June.
There are no regular breaks in the academic calendar. However, it is common to find there are no or few classes around Christmas and Easter.
Please note that the autumn semester continues after the Christmas holidays. Exchange students who study at the University of Skövde during the autumn semester may only take distance exams at their home institution after December 22. Observe that students staying an entire year must be back for exams in January (for more information see: Distance Examination). Students studying during the spring semester are allowed to take exams offered after August 1 as distance exams at their home institution.
