Perth Bible College’s academic year consists of two 15 week semesters, comprised of 2 study weeks and 13 weeks of lectures. The College year commences in February and concludes in late November. Each semester has a two week mid-semester break, with a four week vacation break in between the two semesters, in July. These breaks coincide with school holidays in Western Australia. There is also a student retreat held in first semester each year. Most subjects and College activities are held on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, leaving the rest of the week for study, family time or part-time work.
