Academic Year Structure

FEFU's academic year is divided into two semesters:

First Semester “Autumn”: September until the end of December.

Second Semester” Spring”: February until June.

At the end of December, students have to pass the first part of the winter examination session. After the New Year holidays, students take the second part of the winter examination session. At the end of the winter examination session, students have a winter vacation, which lasts two weeks.

The schedule of classes is available on FEFU's website and a hard copy is usually posted on information boards near student offices. The schedule of classes contains all the information about the place, date, time, type of the class, as well as the professors who teach students in various disciplines. The schedule of classes is made in such a way that the weeks in the semester are conventionally divided into “numerator” - upper, odd, and “denominator” - lower, even. A semester always starts with a “numerator” (odd) week.

Classes are conducted in the form of lectures, seminars, practical and laboratory classes, tests, independent work, colloquiums, research work of students, internships, and research papers.

For all types of classroom classes, the academic hour is 45 minutes. One class includes two academic hours and lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes.
