Questions about credit points
Yes, you can. The number of ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits and the requirements for their acquisition can be found in the course descriptions. Information on required coursework can be found here.
To receive credit points, candidates will
- not exceed the maximum number of absences
- complete the required coursework.
When a participant fails a course, this result is not transferred to their faculty.
Active participation in a course means that participants
- actively participate during the lessons,
- prepare and follow up the lessons,
- inform the lecturer about absences and find out how they can catch up on the missed material.
- Portfolio courses may include various forms of coursework, such as written or oral texts; these must be completed before the end of the course.
- Unsatisfactory texts can be revised and resubmitted once.
- To pass the course, all required coursework must receive a satisfactory pass.
- Courses that follow the portfolio principle do not receive a grade; they are assessed with PASS or FAIL.
