  • Important Academic Information

    The following list contains essential academic information to be considered in our program:

    • Students can only register in our courses through foreign universities and international programs who have signed agreements with the University of Seville (see the section Partner Programs).

     

    • Our program is offered in two distinct semesters: fall-winter and winter-spring. The course listing usually varies between them (see the section Academic Calendar).

     

    • Individual courses meet for 4 hours a week for a total of 45 hours per semester.

     

    • Each group will have a maximum of 30 students. In those cases in which enrolment exceeds that number, a second group will be created. Courses in which enrolment is below 10 participants will not be offered.

     

    • Regular attendance at class sessions is compulsory and students who miss three class sessions without credible justification being provided will find their Final Grade reduced by a full 0.5.

     

    • Students will be expected to demonstrate their assimilation of course content in the examinations which will be set in each course. Midterm and Final exams will be held on the dates indicated in the Academic Calendar (see the section Academic Calendar). Exceptions will only be considered under very special circumstances, with documentary justification being required, as well as the written permission of the student’s tutor, which will then need to be ratified by the Directors of the Program for Students from Abroad within each of the Faculties.
