Life at TPU
The current academic calendar is aimed to give general information about the time frame of the academic year at TPU. It tends to begin on September 1. However, please take into account that it can begin a little bit earlier or later. This is due to the fact that the University develops academic plans under the Bologna Process, that means for a whole calendar week. Thus, an academic year should begin on Monday. Please, keep it in mind.
If you are enrolled in the pre-university course, you should consult a specialist of International Admission Office since your academic plan can differ from the standard one.
