nus academic calendar​ 10 28

Anyone planning their studies or activities at NUS will find the NUS academic calendar the key resource for knowing when semesters, breaks, and assessments take place. NUS divides its academic year into two main semesters—one from August to December, the other from January to May.

The structure features several weeks of lectures and tutorials, a reading week for preparation, and an exam window at the end. Special terms run during the summer break, giving flexibility for internships, overseas programmes, or extra coursework.

Key dates on the NUS academic calendar include semester start and end dates, public holidays, reading weeks, exam periods, and registration deadlines. Most faculties follow the general calendar, but some (like medicine or law) may have slightly different schedules—so it’s always good to check your faculty’s version.

The latest NUS academic calendar is available online via the official NUS website and website is updated yearly with any changes or important announcements.

For anyone at NUS—whether you’re planning classes, exams, or holidays—the academic calendar is your essential guide to staying organised throughout the year.
