Changing UNSW Semesters

View Results

UNSW is currently considering changing its semesters from:

  • Semester 1: March-June, Semester 2: July-November
  • 12/13 teaching weeks, 1 week mid-semester break, 4 courses/semester

to

  • Term 1: February-May, Term 2: June-August, Term 3: September-November
  • 10 teaching weeks, no mid-semester break, 3 courses/semester

In both cases, the exam period involves 1 week stuvac, 2-3 weeks of exams.

Summer semester would still exist, but would be slightly shorter under the three term model.

The advantages of three terms

  • potentially complete degree in slightly less than 3/4 years
  • take a semester off for work experience or study abroad
  • take some semesters with only 2 courses to work half-time

I would prefer the three terms model

I would prefer the current two semester model

Either would be ok (no preference)
