UNSW Academic Calendar

UNSW Academic Calendar: Historical Information

From 1973 to 2007, the UNSW academic year was divided into two sessions each of 14 weeks duration. A course could be taken over 1 session only or both sessions. From 1990 to 2007, courses were offered in Summer and Winter sessions.

A new Academic Calendar was introduced for the 2008 academic year, based on two main semesters with 12 week teaching periods and a summer term. Several changes to the Calendar were introduced in 2009 including the adoption of “12 weeks in 13” semester structure.
