nus academic calendar​ 10 28

For students and staff at the National University of Singapore, the NUS academic calendar is the key resource for knowing when semesters, breaks, and assessments take place. NUS operates on a two-semester system, with Semester 1 typically starting in early August and Semester 2 beginning in January.

Within each semester, there are weeks dedicated to teaching, followed by a reading week and then exams. Students can opt for special terms in May–July to here take additional courses or catch up on credits.

Major events like orientation week, add/drop deadlines, and commencement ceremonies are also marked. Students should double-check with their department for any differences in course-specific schedules.

The latest NUS academic calendar is available online via the official NUS website and is updated yearly with any changes or important announcements.

For anyone at NUS—whether you’re planning classes, exams, or holidays—the academic calendar is your essential guide to staying organised throughout the year.
