  • Some courses last for a whole academic year. Only select courses that last one term (see Duration of exchange below). The course code indicates the duration of each course: The codes for all full-year courses and modules end with 0; students who arrive in January or February are only allowed to take courses with a code that ends with 1.

How many credits do you need to complete?

Five courses per term
This destination’s workload for credits changes depending on the Faculty / year of studies. International Exchange Services is not able to make a recommendation for the destination for credits and that is why the minimum recommendation is marked as amount of courses and not credits. The International Exchange Services recommends that the credit transfer be made by the actual workload done for a course.
