Royal Academy/Curriculum


 * 2 1/2 bell: Start of first morning lessons
 * 4 1/2 bell: Start of afternoon lessons

All first and second year students learn a general curriculum, regardless of their future career choices. Upon entering the third year however, each student has to decide which specialization they will go into.

The exception to this are the archduke candidates who are obligated to attend the archduke candidate course.

Any student is free to take on other courses in addition to their chosen main profession, if they wish.

For written lessons and also some practical ones the first unit each year is an exam where any student who is confident that they already know what is going to be taught that term may participate. Those who pass the exam do not have to attend any lessons of this subject for the remainder of the term. If the student fails these early exams, they have to continue taking the lessons like those that haven't taking an early exam at all.

Similar exams can also be made at any point of the term, but those have to be arranged by each student individually with the professor.

Subjects in which a student has not passed an early will have a final exam at the end of the regular term. Should a student fail to pass a final exam on any subject at the end of the regular term, they will have to take extra lessons for that subject during the rest of the year until they pass. Should a student fail to pass even those extra lessons before the start of the next term, they will fail to graduate and lose their chance to become a true noble and be reduced in status to the same state as those who were sent to the temple as children.
