This tool calculates your graduation year based on your current year and study duration.
Graduation Year Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate your graduation year. Enter your start year, expected duration of study, and any expected delays, then click “Calculate” to find out your estimated graduation year.
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter the year you started your studies in the “Start Year” field.
- Enter the normal duration of your studies in years in the “Study Duration” field.
- If you anticipate any delays (gap years, leave of absence, etc.), enter the total in the “Delays” field.
- Click “Calculate” and your estimated graduation year will be displayed in the “Result” field.
Explanation of How It Works:
The calculator adds the “Study Duration” and “Delays” to the “Start Year” to provide the estimated graduation year:
Graduation Year = Start Year + Study Duration + Delays
Limitations:
- The calculator assumes a linear progression through the studies without considering mid-study changes (e.g., transferring to another program).
- Unexpected events such as early graduation or unplanned delays are not factored in without manual input.
