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. Special terms run during the summer break, giving flexibility for internships, overseas programmes, or extra coursework.
Key dates on the NUS academic calendar include semester start and end dates, public holidays, reading weeks, exam periods, and registration deadlines. 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 click here 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.
