The programme covers two full academic years, each starting in the last week of September and finishing in the first week of July. First-semester classes end in the third week of December, followed by a two-week break, a one-week study period and a three-week examination period. After a one-week break, second-semester classes start in the second week of February and continue until the last week of May (with a two-week break at Easter), followed by a two-week study period and a four-week examination period. The re-sit period covers the last two weeks of August and the first two weeks of September.
