An academic year at Chalmers is divided into two semesters, where each semester consists of two study periods. A study period consists of 7-9 study weeks and ends with an examination period.
A number of self study days can also be part of a study period. There are also five re-sit examination periods distributed over the academic year. Please note that this can differ for the foundation years.
