Epiphany term

Epiphany term is the second academic term at Durham University, falling between Michaelmas term and Easter term, as in the Christian Feast of the Epiphany, held in January.

[1] The term runs from January until March,[2] equivalent to the Spring term at many British universities, Hilary term at Trinity College Dublin and Oxford, and Lent term at Cambridge, Canterbury Christ Church, Lancaster, Liverpool, LSE and Swansea.

[4] It was also used at Durham's overseas affiliated colleges: Codrington College, Barbados,[5] and Fourah Bay College, Sierra Leone,[6] and is used (as of July 2018) by Sierra Leone Law School.

[7] In the United States, the name was in use in the late 19th century at Hobart College,[8] and at Divinity School of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania,[9] and for a period after 1913 at Sewanee: the University of the South.

[10][11] The name remains in use (interchangeably with "Spring term") at the General Theological Seminary in New York.
