Calendar templates for the UK academic year 2025/26
in Microsoft Excel format to download, edit and print

Advertisement
Practical, versatile, and adaptable academic year calendar templates for 2025/2026, specifically designed to meet the needs of higher education. Spanning the period from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026, they are available in Microsoft Excel format (.xlsx) in a variety of styles. Tailored for the United Kingdom, they include UK bank holidays and week numbers.
Unlike standard calendar layouts based on the calendar year (January to December), these templates align perfectly with the university term cycle. To increase clarity and easy navigation, each year is highlighted in a distinct, dedicated colour.
Each template presents a continuous 12-month period running from September to August, providing a clear and user-friendly overview for scheduling lectures, seminars, assignments, and exams. This layout enables you to map out an entire university year within a single, cohesive document, avoiding the disruption of standard calendars that split the academic year across two separate files.
A structured September-to-August schedule is the ideal solution for students, lecturers, and higher education institutions. It simplifies the organisation of semesters, exam periods, work placements, and academic projects, allowing for seamless, continuous planning without the interruption of a New Year transition.
These templates maintain all the benefits of clean layouts and design best practices: clarity, legibility, and flexibility. Perfect for university timetabling, lecture tracking, managing deadlines, or personal study planning, they offer a reliable framework tailored to the rhythm of the academic calendar.

System Requirements and Flexibility

Each file is delivered in standard Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) format, adhering fully to universal XML document protocols.
  • Microsoft Ecosystem
    Fully optimised for Excel versions 2007 right through to 2024 across Windows, Mac, and mobile devices.
  • Open-Source and Free Platforms
    Enjoy flawless cross-compatibility with alternative suites without formatting errors. If you don't have Microsoft Excel installed, use Microsoft 365 (formerly Office Online) or one of the Microsoft Office alternatives FreeOffice PlanMaker, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and others, which are all free of charge (OpenOffice Calc unfortunately has formatting problems when opening our calendars).
  • Older Software Versions
    If you are running legacy packages (such as Excel 2000, XP, or 2003), the templates can be easily converted via a file converter or accessed via browser-based office tools.
