Two semesters a year, each of 16 weeks: 14 teaching weeks, midterm assessments worth one week (spread across the teaching period) and a final exam week, with Belgian public holidays and school breaks on top. You can start in February or September; both intakes follow the same semesters, for every BCBT programme including the Foundation year.
Midterms are not held in a single block week: assessments worth one week are spread across the teaching period, and your lecturers announce the exact dates in each course.
Breaks follow the Flemish school holidays (Easter, autumn and Christmas) and Belgian public holidays. No classes are held on public holidays.
Students who start in February and students who start in September follow the same semesters and study side by side.
This calendar may be adjusted slightly. Students are notified of any change through official communication channels.
