Academic Calendar

The LUC The Hague academic year consists of two semesters, each divided into two blocks. A block spans an eight week period: seven weeks of intensive teaching followed by a reading week in which there are typically no contact hours.  The reading week can, for example, be used to hand in essays, take-home exams or prepare for the next block.

A standard course meets 2 x 2 hours per week. Global Challenges courses and Language courses meet 3 x 2 hours per week.
