nus academic calendar​ 10 28

Anyone planning their studies or activities at NUS will find the NUS academic calendar 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 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.

You can easily find the current calendar on the NUS portal, which provides downloadable PDFs for planning ahead.

If you want to stay on top of deadlines and make the check here most of your time at NUS, keeping an eye on the academic calendar is a must.
