Title:

Regulations of the Credit System for Bachelor's, Follow-Up Master’s and Doctoral Students Studying Abroad Within the Erasmus+ Programmes, Interfaculty and Interuniversity Agreements

In effect from:

In Prague on 26 March, 2018

Students who are sent to study abroad by the school within the Erasmus+ programmes, interfaculty and interuniversity agreements must obtain a total of 20 credits within the Bachelor’s study and 15 credits within the follow-up Master’s or Doctoral study with effect from the winter semester of 2018/2019 per semester as a minimum obligation for enrolment in the next semester. These are recalculated credits, i.e. credits obtained when the guarantor of the respective study programme/field recognizes and evaluates (or evaluates with a course credit) the subjects enrolled and completed abroad as the equivalent of compulsory subjects that are part of the respective study plan at FSV UK, or as elective subjects. If the guarantor recognizes the course completed abroad as the equivalent of a compulsory course, it will be awarded the number of credits that this course has in the study plan of FSV UK. If the guarantor recognizes the course completed abroad as an elective course, it will be awarded the corresponding number of credits usual for elective courses in the given study plan.

If it involves a pre-diploma stay within which the student devotes part of his/her potential to the preparation of a Bachelor's, Master’s or Dissertation thesis, the guarantor may also recognize a Bachelor’s or Master’s or Doctoral seminar for a student studying abroad under study stays abroad, provided such a course is part of the respective study plan at FSV UK. In such a case, the guarantor awards the student with the number of credits that the diploma seminar has in the given study plan.

Credits awarded abroad in accordance with these regulations are included in the minimum study obligations and the marks set by the guarantor on the basis of the study results obtained abroad apply to the calculation of the merit scholarship for the given period. Credits that the student obtains directly at FSV during his/her stay abroad are included in the total study obligations, but not in the minimum study obligations and cannot be the basis for the calculation of the merit scholarship.

Recognition of subjects together with the evaluation, recalculated number of credits and equivalent for which the subject is recognized (the code must be stated for recognitions as compulsory subjects), is recorded by the guarantor of the respective study programme/field in the following form – Record on fulfilment of study obligations and is confirmed by the vice-dean for study affairs. The obligation to submit the Record on fulfilment of study obligations also applies to students who do not forward the courses enrolled and completed abroad for recognition at FSV UK as the equivalent of compulsory or elective subjects.

Students who leave for a study stay to which they are not sent by the school must fulfil all the obligations imposed by the Rules for the Organization of Studies at FSV UK, or interrupt their studies.

This measure comes into effect on 1 October 2018 for students who go abroad in the academic year of 2018/2019 and as of 1 October 2018 it fully replaces the Dean’s Measure no. 19/2015, which is hereby repealed.
