UK MPharm Year Schedule 영국 약대 1년 시간표 및 방학 기간

You might wonder academic schedule or calendar of MPharm in the UK.

First of all, there are 3 'terms' instead of 2 semesters in a year. So, you can think of dividing a year into 3 parts.

Unlike my country which starts the semester in Spring, the UK starts the semester in Autumn.

Term-1 Sep/Oct --> Break 3 weeks (Christmas season) --> Term-2 Jan --> Break 3 weeks (Easter season) -->  Term-3 May/Apr --> Summer Break 3 months★

The key point from here you should know before coming here... 

Break (holiday, vacation) is not fully a holiday you can enjoy, because you'll have an exam after finishing the holiday. We better call it, "exam period". Hahaha. Yes, literally right after finishing the holiday, your new term will start with the exam. 

 

The following is an example of the academic calendar of UoB. (Univerisity of Brighton, the UK). Detail dates could be different depending on each school, so please ask your school for more detail.
