Courses at the Academy are organised in such a way that one ECTS corresponds to 25-30 hours of work for the student.
The student is responsible for her/his academic progress in courses at the Academy. The average number of credit units for each semester is 30 ECTS or 60 ECTS for a whole academic year.
Bachelor of Arts Degree
A minimum of 180 ECTS is required for a BA or B.Mus Degree. The Academy’s curriculum is organised to allow for a maximum of 72 ECTS for one academic year, but no more than a total of 210 ECTS for the students’ whole period of study.
If a student lacks 12 or more ECTS in an academic year, he/she cannot advance to the next year.
The Academy accepts credit transfers of BA-level studies from other universities but never exceeding 60 ECTS.
A student’s total combined period of study must not exceed one year over and above the normal length of study, with the exception of absence due to maternity/paternity leave. The Rector, at the recommendation of a Dean, may grant exceptions from this rule in special circumstances. In those cases, the respective student shall explain his/her circumstances in writing, stating his/her reasons for the application.
