UniBern study schedule

Hi,

I am currently considering a Masters in Physics at the University of Bern starting in September 2026, and I had some questions regarding the schedule dates. I am a bit confused about the lecture period vs. exam period dates and Christmas break. Do people usually go home right after the lectures end, and then have exams in January? And how long do you have between lectures and exams? I am basically wondering when students get time off to go home throughout the year, and how long of a break we get.

Any info is appreciated!
