09 - Latvia - Organisation of the academic year
The organization of academic year depends on each institution.
Academic
year is divided in two semesters and usually lasts ten months, starting
in the beginning of September and ending at the end of June; January
and June are devoted for taking semesters’ examinations. Recently,
another system of examination is implemented by various institutions,
when a course (subject) does not last till the end of semester, the
examination is held shortly after the course is completed, even in the
middle of the semester.
There are Christmas and Easter holidays for students during the year. A summer break lasts at least 8 weeks.
