    The academic year in Australia varies depending on the type of study. For schools, the academic year is typically from late January to early February and runs in 4 terms. English language programs can run from 5 weeks to a year in weekly sessions throughout the year. Foundation, vocational, undergraduate, and postgraduate programs generally run in 2 semesters from February to November, though some undergraduate programs have trimesters. Doctoral programs are usually 3 years without formal semesters, with start dates determined by the student's supervisor. All levels noted that start dates may vary by institution, so students should check their school's website for specifics.
