II.2. Planning the completion of curriculum


II.2. Modules and choosing the modules
 

17. The courses in the curricula are grouped into modules according to the Statutes of Curriculum.

18. A bachelor’s student chooses for the curriculum at least six modules of 24 ECTS, at least one elective module of 12 ECTS, a bachelor’s exam or graduation thesis module of 6–12 ECTS and an optional courses module.

19. The minimum volume of a major specialisation in bachelor’s studies is two base modules, at least one field module, one specialisation module and one elective module, and a final exam or graduation thesis. A minor specialisation comprises a field module, a specialisation module and an elective module (60 ECTS in total) of a bachelor’s curriculum, which are different from the major specialisation modules. If the minimum volume is selected for the major specialisation, the student must select one minor specialisation. The volume of the major specialisation can be increased by taking at least one more field, specialisation or elective module of one’s curriculum. If the volume of
the major specialisation is increased, selecting a minor specialisation is not required. Depending on the selected modules, for example, when a minor specialisation or modules exceeding the minimum volume have been selected, the required volume of the bachelor’s curriculum can be obtained without optional courses; in this case, completed optional courses are not taken into account for completing the volume of the student’s curriculum.

20. Bachelor’s students select all modules of the major specialisation – two base modules, one field module, one specialisation module and the elective module – in the Study Information System by the end of the first semester, unless a later date has been established for selecting the field, specialisation and elective modules of the major specialisation in the curriculum. All the modules necessary for completing the curriculum must be chosen from bachelor’s curricula, and the choice must be made by the end of the autumn semester of the second academic year.

21. Students of professional higher education and master’s students select all the modules necessary for completing the curriculum in the Study Information System by the end of the first semester if the curriculum contains selectable modules.
