THE ACADEMIC YEAR

The academic year at NaUKMA divides into three terms: autumn and spring terms, each of 13 weeks, and summer term of 8 weeks*. In the middle of both autumn and spring terms, NaUKMA students are given so-called “Week of Unassisted Work” to accomplish essays and papers for their courses*. Last two weeks of autumn and spring terms and last week of summer term are examination periods.
