In Madrid, you will be enrolled in two universities:


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.

Second Master Year[edit]

Courses at Complutense[edit]

During your second master year, there is only one course given at Complutense:

  • Language and Culture: Spanish (6 ETCS)

Courses at Carlos III[edit]

All the scientific courses of the second year are given at Carlos III:

  • Turbulence in Plasmas (3 ETCS)
  • Advanced Materials for Fusion (3 ETCS)
  • Fusion Reactor Physics (6 ETCS)

Other courses[edit]

Some courses are not linked to either university like the educational events and the Master thesis:
