Academic Calendar 2012/2013
The academic calendar is divided into 2 semesters, which are organised into 2 terms each.
Courses may last one period (5 weeks + 1 for extra/reschedule lessons) or one semester (14 weeks).
Each course includes at least 4 different dates in which the related exam can be taken. However, he/she can choose only 3 dates among those which have been scheduled. In case of two exam dates in the same session, students have to take the exam on one of the two available days (see point C below).
The organisation of the exam sessions depends on the course scheduling (that is the semester or term the course will take place) and is described in the chart here below.
