In Madrid, you will be enrolled in two universities:
- Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
- Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Contents
Exam system
There are two exam periods; in January and late May-early June. Some courses (e.g. Classical Electrodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Atomic Physics) have midterms as well, during November-December and March-April. Some courses (e.g. Statistical Physics) do not have a final examination in the sense of a test, just a presentation along with delivered exercise sets, some lab work etc.
Language course
There is no intensive course of Spanish before the start of classes. In Spain you only have the "Language and Culture" course during the first semester, 3 hours per week. This course takes please at Complutense.
