ACADEMIC CALENDAR

The Academic Calendar at Enigma Business School (EBS) is created to support continuous learning, international accessibility, and self-paced academic progress. As a global distance learning institution with rolling admission, EBS allows students to begin their studies throughout the year while maintaining clarity in academic milestones, evaluation cycles, and administrative schedules.

The purpose of the Academic Calendar is to provide guidance rather than strict deadlines, ensuring a structured yet flexible learning experience that accommodates professional and personal commitments.

Rolling Admission System

EBS does not operate on fixed semester intakes. Instead, admission and academic commencement take place year-round. Students may:

  • Submit applications at any time

  • Receive admission decisions on a rolling basis

  • Begin coursework upon enrollment confirmation

This model is especially suitable for working professionals and international students in multiple time zones.

Academic Cycle Structure

Each student follows an individualized academic cycle aligned with their start date, program level, and specialization. Academic cycles typically include:

  • Orientation and onboarding

  • Course access through EBS Learning Management System

  • Assignment and assessment timeline

  • Periodic academic review

  • Final project or research submission

Academic cycles ensure students progress in a structured manner without waiting for group schedules.

Standard Academic Components

Although students begin at different times, academic activities generally follow recurring institutional patterns:

  1. Orientation Week
