Academic Calendar

Incoming Bachelor exchange students participate in courses of the Bachelor of Science in International Business Administration (IBA) which is a 3-year undergraduate programme. The academic year is divided upon a trimester-based system. Exchange students are welcome in any of the three trimesters. It is also possible to stay for more than one trimester.

The academic calendar roughly looks as follows:

• Trimester 1 starts the first week of September and ends the first week of November or third week of December (10-15 weeks) 
• Trimester 2 starts the first week of January and ends the last week of March (12 weeks) 
• Trimester 3 starts the last week of March and ends the last week of June (13 weeks)

Introduction programme
Prior to each trimester, an introduction programme is organized. This programme is compulsory for all incoming students. Upon your nomination, you will receive a Welcome Mail in which the dates of the introduction programme are announced to you. In Fall the Introduction programme is a 2,5 day trip, whereas in Spring it is a one-day introduction due to the limited time between introduction and start of classes.
