Academic calendar and list of the national and public holidays in 2017
The academic year is divided into two semesters. At the end of each, students have special exam periods, during which they take oral or written exams. Faculties of the UP may have different schedules about starting and finishing semesters and breaks throughout the academic year. As one of our foreign students, our academic calendar may be useful for you when planning your exams and travels home. Here you can find the national and public holidays in 2017 as well.
