How many holidays do British college students have in a year?
There are always three long holidays, but only one summer vacation can be enjoyed.

Christmas holiday: 3 weeks, generally starting from around 65438+February 20th. Basically, it is different every year, and there will be several days of adjustment before and after. After the Christmas holiday, the first semester is a very intensive mid-term exam, which basically lasts about 1~2 weeks, so we should review for the Christmas holiday.

Easter: 3 weeks, usually starting from late March or early April, and it varies from year to year. After the Easter holiday, the final exam will be started directly, which will generally last until the end of May, and the Easter holiday will also be reviewed.

Summer vacation: Under normal circumstances, after the final exam, you can start the summer vacation, that is, from the end of May, the school will not have any plans and you can start to have a good time.

But in fact, the normal summer vacation begins with the test results in the middle and late June. Then it lasted until the middle and late September, a total of about 3 months.

Besides, there are all kinds of bank holidays, one day at a time, a national holiday and even a holiday when banks are closed. If we catch up with Friday or Monday, we can have a three-day holiday.

British public holidays refer to the legal public holidays in Britain, excluding weekends and paid holidays, with a total of 10 days a year, Christmas, Easter, bank spring break (also known as Pentecost, the third largest holiday in Christianity) and bank summer vacation.

If Christmas and Easter just catch up with the weekend, there will be about seven or eight days of concentrated rest during the festival. The departments that formulate vacation policies are mainly parliaments and trade unions. The only purpose of formulating these policies is to let the people get enough rest and relaxation.
