Obtaining ECTS Points at the Self Study Center

Students of modularized courses of study have an opportunity to earn a credit point learning ON SITE at the Self-Study Center. This is possible for the following languages: German as a foreign language, English, French, Spanish and Russian.

After taking part in an obligatory introductory session, you will get an access to all learning materials available for your chosen language. All completed exercises and the time of work have to be recorded on the learning plan.

Once you reach 30 X 45 minutes (22.5 clock hours) you will receive a certificate stating that a workload equivalent to 1 ECTS point was completed. This certificate is not graded. The workload must be completed within one semester including one semester break before or after. (Note that the Self Study Center is closed in August).

For the languages French (Niveau A2-B2) and Spanish (Niveau A1-B2) there is an opportunity to earn a credit point on site as well as online. You may start earning a credit pointafter an online or on-site introductory session. We have designed the self-study plans with resources for individual learning, which will allow you to be flexible and learn the language without coming to the Self-Study Centre.

If you would like to participate in an online introductory sessions, please, contact us by the SLZ e-mail. After an introductory session, you will receive a guideline from us, as well as an exercise list. You will have to make a record of the work you have done and the time you have spent on it. Once you reach 30 X 45 minutes (22.5 clock hours) and send us a carefully recorded learning plan, you will have a video session with the language coordinator and discuss the topics that you have learned. Also in this case you may receive a certificate stating that a workload equivalent to 1 ECTS point was completed. This certificate is not graded. The workload must be completed within one semester including one semester break before or after. (Note that the Self Study Center is closed in August).

Whether the ECTS point is recognised for a particular module of your degree program is determined by the specific department.

Note: Through a learning arrangement in a tandem (starting from A2 level), you can obtain up to 2 ECTS points.
