Academic calendar

The academic calendar gives you a clear overview of the Avans educational calendar, all holidays and public holidays. And the times when our buildings are closed.

Please note that this is a general calendar. Your personal timetable, which you will receive from your study department, may differ. Keep in mind that there is no autumn holiday break.
