No, the academic year is Jan to Dec (or in practice, Feb till whenever; I suppose technically until end Nov when the results come out). However, the tax year is similar to the UK. Not quite the same - the tax year is to the 31st March rather than the 5th April, but I'm probably the only one who finds that even vaguely interesting.
I'm astonished you can't get mid year diaries here. Because what happens if you - I don't know - start a new job partway through the year or something, and you suddenly need a diary? You can't buy a Jan to Dec one because the shops have stopped selling those, and anyhow half of the pages would already be wasted. But I guess there just isn't the market here.
