The academic year in German Universitäten is divided into two semesters. The Wintersemester begins in October and ends in February. The Sommersemester begins in April and ends in September. There is no Summer School as commonly found in American universities.
Course activities for the Wintersemester generally occur between mid-October and mid-February, and for the Sommersemester between mid-April and mid-July.
A Semester Break occurs between the Winter- and Sommersemesters , from mid-February to mid-April. Semester Break is used by the professors to hold Examen , and by the students for studies related to the previous Wintersemester or to the comming Sommersemester . The period from mid-July to mid-October is a time for studies and summer vacation.
