General information
The autumn semester begins around 15 August and continues till around 20 December. The spring semester begins around 15 January and ends about 20 June.
30 ECTS credits is considered a full work load for one semester. Courses are usually 10 credits each, though courses giving 5, 20 or even 30 credits may occur. How to interpret course codes:
- 1xxx = basic courses at the bachelor's degree level
- 2xxx (or 3xxx) = secondary courses at the bachelor's degree level
- 4xxx = courses at the master's degree level
Typically, getting credit for a course requires both writing a paper and passing a final exam. Only exams are graded.
