Courses at Universidad Carlos III and Complutense de Madrid
In Madrid, you will be enrolled in two universities:
- Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
- Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Contents
Exam system[edit]
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[edit]
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.
