The academic year is divided into two terms/semesters:
Winter term: October - mid-February.
Summer term: mid-February - mid-June.
The system requires 15 weeks of classes followed by two or four-week examination sessions. Unsuccessful students may retake an examination in February (for the first semester) and in September (for the second semester).
