If you are considering enrolling at a university within the Greater Region, choosing a study programme or attending courses at a partner university, then please note the differences between the academic calendars of the individual university.
UniGR Academic Year Planner
To help you, UniGR provides you with a table with all semester dates of the partner universities (lecture periods, enrolment deadlines, holidays etc.). In addition, we have created an online calendar that allows you to compare the most important semester dates at one glance
The university rhythms vary, as these may be determined on a national or regional level or may even be particular to one institution. Below you will find an overview of each country.
