nus academic calendar 10 28
Anyone planning their studies or activities at NUS will find the NUS academic calendar a practical tool for tracking school terms, holidays, and exam periods. NUS operates on a two-semester system, with Semester 1 typically starting in early August and Semester 2 beginning in January.
The structure features several weeks of lectures and tutorials, a reading week for preparation, and an exam window at the end. There are also special terms (Term 3A and 3B) during the mid-year break for students who want to take extra modules or accelerate their studies.
The calendar highlights important milestones such as module registration windows, holidays like Chinese New Year and Hari Raya, and the start of vacation periods. 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.
You can easily find the current calendar more info on the NUS portal, which provides downloadable PDFs for planning ahead.
All in all, the NUS academic calendar helps every student and staff member manage their schedules smoothly from semester to semester.
