The academic year at KI
The academic year at Swedish universities is divided into two semesters: the autumn semester and the spring semester. The autumn semester starts at the end of August/beginning of September and ends in January. There is no break between the autumn and spring semesters. The spring semester starts in January and ends at the beginning of June.
The starting date for each semester can vary between programmes
Please note that some programmes may have an earlier semester starting date. You will receive information about what applies to your particular programme from your department.
Holidays
The university has no official holidays such as Christmas or Easter. There is no official summer holiday at the university either, but in practice, the period from June to August can be counted as a summer break. Usually, students do not have scheduled teaching during Christmas or public holidays. However, you may have to spend time studying during these periods. To be sure which days you have classes, you should always check the schedule for your course or programme, since it may vary.
