The Director of the Bachelor is entitled to validate the amount of ECTS credits to be acknowledged for a specific course if the course itself is consistent with the Bachelor learning objectives.
Students should address the course supervisor to agree on course admission and workload. If the course accepts only a restricted number of students, it will be necessary to contact the local Student Office at the University that provides the course to find an agreement.
After successfully passing the exam, students should upload the document that certifies the course's name, number of credits, name of the supervisor, evaluation mark and date of passing.
The Director of the Bachelor will verify all details and provide the electronic registration of the additional credits to the students' course workload.
