Academic Calendar
In the framework of the Erasmus Students Mobility for Studies (SMS), incoming students are allowed to earn credits (ECTS) by taking part in teaching activities (like lectures, classes or practical learning) at the hosting University, and according to the rules of the hosting University. The Università del Molise’s teaching activities are organized yearly in two distinct semesters (Fall and Spring, or as they are frequently called in Italian, First and Second) which are in their turn divided into a teaching period and an examination period, according to the following Academic Calendar:

  • 1st Semester (Fall semester): From 2 October to 12 January
  • Examination period: From 15 January to 28 February
  • 2nd Semester (Spring-Summer): From 4 March to 7 June
  • Examination period: From 10 June to 31 July

Class schedules are set yearly, just before lessons start.

ECTS
In the Italian university system, a certain number of credits (CFU in Italian; 1 CFU = 1 ECTS) is assigned to each teaching activity, and each teaching activity is considered completed after passing a final exam. The final exam may be written, oral, or a mix of the two. On-the-run tests during the course of the teachings may be also planned. The final examination result is graded on a scale from 0 to 30 points. To pass the final exam it is needed to reach at least 18 points. Indicatively, each numerical grade corresponds to a qualitative grade as follows: 18-23: Sufficient to pass; 24-27: Good; 28-30: Excellent; 30 cum laude: Mention of honour.

Language Requirements
The official language of instruction is Italian. Università del Molise  strongly recommends that Erasmus incoming students possess at least B1 level of knowledge of Italian language before the mobility starts, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). However, an official certification of competence in Italian is not required to apply. We strongly recommend Erasmus incoming students to get the highest possible benefit from the Erasmus On Line Linguistic Support (OLS) licenses provided by their Home Universities in order to develop confidence with Italian language before and during the mobility.

Università del Molise adopts English as vehicular language, and Erasmus incoming students are expected to know English at a sufficient level, in order to interact with administrative offices and professors.

Teachers and professors are open to provide Erasmus students studying materials in English or other languages upon request, even for the teaching activities delivered in Italian. Professors, in addition, may allow Erasmus students to take final exams in English or other languages different from Italian, but this must be agreed upon case by case, before the examination period starts, and under direct request of the Erasmus incoming student.
