From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Jacobean play by Thomas Middleton, see Michaelmas Term (play).

Michaelmas term is the first term of Oxford University, Cambridge University, LSE, University of Wales, Lampeter, Durham University, Lancaster University, Trinity College Dublin and formerly University of Newcastle upon Tyne's academic year. Trinity term is the only term name shared by Oxford and Cambridge, Oxford and Lampeter and Oxford and Durham. However Lampeter, Durham and Cambridge all share the name Easter term for the third term of the year. It runs from October to December. In Oxford, at the end of this term is Christ Church Regatta, when the freshers' rowing novice crews race against each other.

The term is one of four into which the legal year is divided by the Courts of England and Wales, with Michaelmas being the first.
