Syllabus and literature

The course syllabus – your contract

A course may be studied within the framework of a study programme or as a free-standing course, whereby the student combines different courses to form his/her own programme of study. The document which regulates the contents of the courses is called a course syllabus and it states the number of credits available on the course and its learning outcomes. It also names the programme of study of which the course can form a part. Moreover, it contains information about the main content of the course and the literature which belongs to it. The course syllabus can be said to be your study ’contract’. You can find a more detailed description of the applicable structure and examination of the course for the current semester in the course description handed out by the teacher.

Credits

University studies are counted in credits. The normal study period for a full-time course (40 hrs/week) is one semester (30 higher education credits) or two semesters (60 higher education credits), which corresponds to 1.5 higher education credits per week. 1.5 higher education credits correspond to 1.5 credits according to the ECTS scale (European Credit Transfer System).

Classes

As a full time student you study weekdays 8 to 17. There will ususally be some schedule classes, but a large part of the learning process takes place outside the classroom as students read and discuss the course material with each other.

Some of the classes will be mandatory – see your detaild course information. The first class in each course/subcourse is usually mandatory. The teacher will explain the course stucture and what you need to do to pass an rececive a grade in the course. Please notify your teacher if you cannot participate.

Please note that our classes are not public. Only students enrolled in the course are allowed in the classroom. It is not allowed to record classes, either on campus nor in Zoom, without the consent from the teacher. You cannot bring children to the classes.
