What are the semester dates at the University of Bologna in Italy?

Question

I am going on an exchange to the University of Bologna in Italy next semester. (summer semester 08) I was wondering approximately when the semester begins and when I could expect to finish exams.

Answer 1

i'm italian. i think that summer semester begins in march-april with courses and you can finish exams in the end of july, but you have the opportunity of making your exams in the end of may and some weeks in june. but you have to know, that in italy isn't obligatory doing exams each time you find an exam-day, you can do your exams in may and june and in july you go on holiday, or choose only may, or finish in february and suspend your university for 5 months. you can do what you want. (that's the reason why, in italy we sometimes finish uni in our 30's) for further info check out on the website or contact me by mail.
