Curriculum
Take a closer look at your curriculum to better understand your study and learning goals. The better you know the course content the easier it it is for you to start studying. To start with check what courses you will have in your first year.
This information is especially important if you wish to transfer credits for some previously completed higher education courses, since you need to propose the substitution and discuss the matter with your study counsellor.
If you have questions about accreditation or credit transfer, it is best to contact your Study Counsellor during 8 – 21 August to avoid the rush during the orientation days.
