Testimonial<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello!<\/em><\/p>\n

My name is Jes\u00fas Plaza Bellido, I am currently studying Translation and Interpreting at the University of Malaga and I spent my Erasmus year in Mons in 2019-2020.<\/em><\/p>\n

This exchange was an experience I will definitely never forget, as I had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people and travel around the country. At the beginning, everything seemed so complicated, since there was a lot of paperwork to do, but the mobility coordinator, Sarah Graindorge, helped me a lot with that and all went well. I only have good words when it comes to the University and the campus, the facilities were incredible and I really enjoyed the courses there. As for Mons, I can say that it is a charming city with lovely places, such as the belfry, Waux-Hall Park, the Grand Place\u2026 Oh! And for those who like partying, there are three words you need to learn by heart: \u00ab\u00a0March\u00e9 aux herbes\u00a0\u00bb. These were probably the most repeated words during my stay in Mons.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Belgium in general is wonderful (in spite of the weather, which can be bothering sometimes). There are many well-known beautiful cities that are a must-visit, such as Bruges, Brussels or Ghent (I especially liked this one), but there are some others cities that were not so familiar to me and which I really recommend, as is the case with Kortrijk or Li\u00e8ge; I remember I had so much fun running up the \u201cMontagne de Bueren\u201d to reach the top as fast as possible.<\/em><\/p>\n

I really wish I could turn back time and return to Belgium, and I believe that anybody who has the opportunity to do an exchange in Mons should not miss the chance, as I am sure it will be an experience they will always keep in their hearts.<\/em><\/p>\n

————————–<\/p>\n

An academic year is divided into two main semesters, both of which include teaching and examination sessions. The summer resit period does not feature any teaching sessions.<\/p>\n

As a general rule, a course unit (a set of lessons) is taught over a semester and is assessed at the end of said semester. To pass a course unit, you must obtain at least 10\/20.<\/p>\n

You can sit an exam twice in the same academic year, at the end of two different semesters, i.e.:<\/p>\n
