The study of individual programmes and courses is carried out on the basis of a credit system corresponding to ECTS, in which one credit corresponds to 1/60 of average annual student workload. Each subject included in the study plans is assessed according to its difficulty by a certain number of credits that students earn provided they successfully and according to set rules complete the subject (credit, seminar, and exam). The subjects are divided into compulsory (credits A), compulsory-optional (credits B) and voluntary-optional (credits C). The division of subjects into compulsory, compulsory-optional and voluntary-optional as well as the way of their completion and number of credits is determined by the individual institute.
- The students of the bachelor study with the standard length of 3 years and the maximum length of 5 years have to earn 180 credits.
- The students of the master study with the standard length of 5 years and the maximum length of 7 years have to earn 300 credits.
- The students of the master study with the standard length of 2 years and the maximum length of 4 years have to earn 120 credits.
The classification of the completed subjects assessed by means of an exam are stated as follows:
