Academic calendar 2024–2025

Before the start of each academic year, the academic calendar for all Bachelor's and Master's programmes is determined. Here you can see within which frameworks education, exams and days off from lectures take place. The study programmes use this timetable as the basis for their academic year.

Explanation of the academic calendar can be found as a download at the bottom of the page.

Please note: the academic calendar for the Faculty of Medical Sciences differs from the one on this page. For them, the calendar on the Radboudumc website is leading.
