What do I need to know about Trimesters @ UNE?
UNE operates on a trimester academic calendar. This means the academic year has three formal teaching periods, known as 'trimesters'. These trimesters are:
- Trimester 1: February - June
- Trimester 2: June - October
- Trimester 3: October - February
Each trimester has a two-week break in the middle, which in T1 and T2 are used for intensive schools. Each trimester also had a two-week exam block.
Not all courses will offer units for study in the third trimester - some will continue to operate on a two-trimester timetable.
If you want to continue to study in Trimesters 1 and 2 only, you are able to do so. But if you want to take more units in a year, or spread your load over three trimesters rather than two, you may be able to do so, depending on the availability of units in your course.
In 2012 there are a range of units offered in the third teaching period, and some courses will start to admit students in the third trimester.
