An ECTS credit is defined as the unit of work measurement of the student, estimated between 25 and 30 hours (25 hours in the UCLM). Each academic course consists of 60 ECTS, equivalent to a full-time job of the student. This system of credits favors that the real duration of the studies approaches the one that marks the curriculum. Each academic course is divided into two semesters of 30 credits for each semester.

The academic courses are divided into the following periods:

FIRST SEMESTER

• Christmas vacation: the fourth week of December until the first week of January.
• Exam period for the subjects of the first semester: the second week of January until the end of the same month.

SECOND SEMESTER

• Period of elective classes: the first week of February until the third week of May.
• Holy Week vacation: 8 days of vacation (the dates vary each year, usually in the month of March or April).
• Exam period for the subjects of the second semester: the third week of May until the first week of June.

The above are only approximate dates. It is recommended to consult the academic calendar on the web
