How to advance your Master’s coursesAfter admission to the Master’s degree programme you have chosen, you will be able to visualize the Master’s courses that can be advanced. To include these courses in your APSP, follow the procedure for the creation of your APSP (Continuing students - Enrolling for years after the first).
Advanced courses will be displayed in your Annual Personal Study Plan (APSP) in violet.
You can advance the courses which belong to all the Master’s degree programmes you have applied for. This means that if you applied for two programmes, you can add courses from both programmes to your APSP. Advancing Master’s courses IS NOT equivalent to enrolling in a Master’s degree programme. Enrolment will be possible only after you get your Bachelor’s degree.
You can choose among two different enrolment options for your APSP:
- full-time enrolment: in this case you can add to your Annual Personal Study Plan a maximum of 80 credits which must include your Bachelor's incomplete courses (maximum 20 credits, including the foreign language exam and the Final Examination) and your Master's first-year courses offered in first semester. If you graduate by March, you will be able to enrol in the Master’s degree programme. You will pay only the cost of the revenue stamp and you will be able to add to your APSP second-semester courses, bearing in mind that you need to stick to the limit of 80 credits per academic year.
- part-time enrolment: in this case you can add to your Annual Personal Study Plan a maximumof 40 credits which must include your Bachelor's incomplete courses (maximum 20 credits, including the foreign language exam and the Final Examination) and your Master's first-year courses offered in first semester. If you graduateby March, you will be able to enrol in the Master’s degree programme. In this case you will have to create a 40-credit APSP. In order to enrol for your second year you will have to pay the cost of those credits and the revenue stamp (art. 9 Tuition Fee Guide).
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
If you are going to graduate in September and October, you DO NOT need to prepare your PSP/APSP for the new academic year. After graduation you will be able to enrol in the Master’s degree programme and fill in the corresponding PSP/APSP. For this reason you do not need to advance any Master’s course.
You can apply for admission to a Master’s degree programme and request to advance some of your Master’s courses even if you do not have a language certificate yet (and your Apply page displays the following message «Language requirements unfulfilled»).
If you included in your APSP the Master’s courses that you want to advance but at end of the September examination session you still have more than 20 unearned credits to graduation, these courses will be deleted from your APSP.
(Our offices will verify this requirement after the exams taken in September are recorded in your transcript by the teaching staff. Therefore the results might become available at the end of October).
Please note that:- Master’s courses can be advanced one time only during the entire duration of your Bachelor’s degree programme;
- if you advanced some Master’s courses but you do no longer meet the requirements for this operation, these courses will be automatically removed from your APSP;
- courses which have been advanced (attended but not passed and/or passed and recorded) will be automatically transferred to your Master’s APSP;
- you are not allowed to advance any course offered in second -semester;
- if you advanced some Master’s courses, but you do not get your Bachelor’s degree by March, these courses will remain on your APSP and you will be able to take the corresponding exams during the summer and autumn examination session
