09 - Norway - Organisation of the academic year
The academic year is 10 months and normally divided into two terms (semesters): Autumn term from
mid August to mid December, Spring term from early January to mid June.
With the Quality Reform of 2002, the institutions were encouraged to make the terms longer. Earlier
the Autumn term started in early September and the Spring term in mid January.
Professional study programmes generally start in the Autumn term, disciplinary studies may start in
both the Autumn and Spring terms.
A summer term lasting about two months was introduced in some study programmes at some
institutions in 1992.
