  • Students having achieved a total ECTS credit value of 48 for both programs receive a certificate on the basis of whichever program (either their MAJOR or DMP) that suits the general criteria, and if the ECTS credits for the program in question is equal to, or greater than, 18.

If the student is in a Minor Program (MP):

  • The GPA for the MAJOR for the relevant semester is taken into account.

  • Students with a total ECTS value of 30 and above receive a certificate for their MAJOR program.
