Noughth Week
- Academic Calendar
- The Oxford academic calendar is divided into three terms of eight weeks. The week before full term starts is called Noughth (0th) Week and is used for administration.This will be a busy week for all new students. You will attend a college induction programme and your Faculty will no doubt also have a registration and orientation day.
- Introductory Sessions
- The MCR would also like to invite you to an introduction session for Exeter graduate freshers on Sunday October 8 at 4:00 pm in the MCR to give you the opportunity to formally meet the MCR executive committee and enjoy tea and cakes.
Social activities have been planned for you during 0th Week and the timetable for mandatory college events during Graduate Freshers' Week has been sent to you already. Copies of both will be posted in the MCR.
- The Terms
- Oxford terms are divided into three putatively 8-week periods: Michaelmas in the autumn, Hilary in the winter, and Trinity in the spring (though many dons refer to Trinity as 'summer term').Be warned, however, that your course may include requirements, essays, exams or meetings with your tutor outside these 8-week terms.
For most graduate students, terms are more usually ten weeks long (some longer, some shorter) so be sure to check with your supervisor before you book a flight home for Christmas holidays, lest you inadvertently miss a deadline.
