Courses in English

UKW requires that Erasmus+ students take at least 15 ECTS per semester and maximum 30 ECTS per semester. Your home institution might also have certain requirements regarding the courses you need to take or amount of credits you need to obtain.

We advise that most of the courses to be completed at UKW are related to the student’s specialization back home. It might happen that the most suitable courses will be offered by different faculties and such a situation is acceptable. Simultaneously, student is free to select one or two courses from different study programmes in order to compile a study plan that best suits her/his interests.

Changes can be made to the originally proposed study plan by completing DURING MOBILITY part of Mobility Agreement for studies/internship within 30 days of the beginning of the semester.

Grading system. UKW is using the following assessment system to assess the academic progress of students:
5 – excellent,
4.5 – very good,
4 – good,
3.5 – satisfactory,
3 – sufficient,
2 – insufficient.

Transcript of Records can be issued only after all grades and credits are put into the USOS system.
