| The academic
year at a Japanese school normally begins in April and ends the
following March. Some classes are run year-round, but classes are
usually divided into semesters, lasting through the first semester
(April - September) or the second semester (October - March). Students
normally enroll in April, but some universities permit students to
enter at a different time, such as in October.
There are usually three long vacations at Japanese institutions
of higher education during the academic year: the summer break (late
July - late August), winter break (late December - early January)
and spring break (late February - early April). |
