An academic year is divided into two semesters. Each semester consists of 17-20 weeks of academic work equivalent to 100 actual teaching days. The odd semester is scheduled from June/ July to November/December and even semester from November/ December to April/May. The institution works for a minimum of 36 working hours in a week (five or six days a week).

One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or one and half / two hours of practicum work/ field work per week.
