TYPE OF COURSES AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON EACH TYPE
THE GENERAL INFORMATION ON PLACES APPLIED TO ALL THE COURSES WITHOUT AN EXCEPTION:
1) In case of luck of places, regular international students of the Faculty of Pharmacy are given priority over Erasmus+ and other exchange students.
2) Should a situation arise where the number of Erasmus+ students exceeds the number of places available, then a first-come, first-served approach will be applied.
In this case, the date the Learning Agreement (OLA) is uploaded to the online system (or approved by home university) will be taken into account.
OBLIGATORY COURSES:
When choosing obligatory courses, check the recommendations on required previous knowledge leading to successful completion of the course (see also recommendation no. 2 above).
WHEN DECIDING TO TAKE SECOND PART OF THE OBLIGATORY COURSE ONLY, BASIC KNOWLEDGE corresponding to the first part of the course as stated in the subject "Information sheet" (by clicking on the obligatory course below in the list of courses offered) IS SELF-EVIDENT.
OBLIGATORY ELECTIVE / ELECTIVE COURSES:
Courses are classified in individual years of study according to their difficulty, so that the student has the necessary knowledge gained by completing obligatory subjects in previous years of study.
If the Erasmus+ student already passed required obligatory course / courses at the home university, it is not a problem to take the obligatory elective course also outside the recommended year of study.
For more detailed information with recommendations for the course, please check the appropriate "Information sheet" of the obligatory elective course (by clicking on the obligatory elective course below in the list of courses offered).
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR OBLIGATORY ELECTIVE / ELECTIVE COURSES:
It always depends on the number of registered students whether the course will open.
At the beginning of the semester, students are informed about the obligatory elective / elective courses that are planned to open in that semester.
Please note that approving the subject by signing the Learning Agreement is not an automatic guarantee that the student will be able to complete the given subject.
IN THE CASE OF A COLLISION THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED, THE STUDENT MUST CHOOSE THE MORE IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
INFORMATION ON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE COURSE BY THE ERASMUS+ STUDENT:
In order to obtain the final grade and to pass the course successfully, Erasmus+ students must meet the same conditions as regular students of the Faculty of Pharmacy.

A GUIDE ON HOW TO WORK WITH THE SCHEDULE WHEN PREPARING COURSES FOR THE LEARNING AGREEMENT...
NOTE 1:
INFORMATION ON TEACHING EXTEND ABBREVIATIONS AS USED IN THE LISTS OF COURSES ABOVE - number of education hours per week, in the form:
0 / 0 / 0 - lectures / seminars / laboratory practicals (practices)
NOTE 2:
To avoid unnecessary mistakes when preparing your LEARNING AGREEMENT, please use ONLY the course titles mentioned in the lists above, as these will be recorded in your final TRANSCRIPT OF RECORDS after completion of the mobility.
NOTE 3:
To avoid unnecessary collisions (overlaps) of courses, we strongly recommend following these three steps:
1. Don't take on too many courses in one term (semester).
2. Do not select courses from different years of study (or narrow down this selection).
3. If the above is not possible, try to avoid choosing courses that overlap. Please pay special attention to courses with practical classes. Even partial overlap is not acceptable.
YOU CAN USE THE PREVIOUS ACADEMIC YEAR’S TIMETABLE AS A GUIDE TO A LARGE EXTENT.
Despite this, THE RESCHEDULING OF SOME COURSES DOES NOT EXCLUDE.
AS AN EXAMPLE, collision (combination) of the below courses is not acceptable at all:
WINTER TERM:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry 1 (3rd year) and Pharmaceutical Technology 2 (4th year)
Radiopharmaceuticals (3rd year) and Public Health and Pharmaceutical Care (4th year)
or
Radiopharmaceuticals (3rd year) and Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy (4th year)
SUMMER TERM:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry 2 (3rd year) and Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacotherapy (4th year)
Principles of Molecular Modelling (2nd year) and Pharmaceutical Chemistry 2 (3rd year)
Pharmaceutical Botany (2nd year) and Pharmaceutical Chemistry 2 (3rd year)

BASIC INFORMATION ON EXAMS
1) Each student has ONE REGULAR and TWO ADDITIONAL dates.
2) DATES OF EXAMS:
Exam dates are set just before registration opens, not before, and certainly not at the beginning of the semester.
Students can choose from several exam dates for individual courses, which are spread out over the entire exam period.
3) REGULAR PERIOD OF EXAMS:
Winter semester - January and first two weeks of February; early exam dates in December depend on particular teachers.
Summer semester - second half or end of May to the beginning of July.
4) PRE-TEST, FINAL TESTS AND MATERIAL FOR STUDY:
The MOODLE learning platform is commonly used as a tool for test preparation.
Together with MS TEAMS and AIS2 (local Academic Information System), it is used also to publish study materials, and to provide students with all the relevant information for their studies.
For the above reasons, students are advised to bring the suitable (technical) equipment (a mobile phone is not a convenient "tool" when reading presentations or other materials for exams) to make full use of all the services available at the university (including various external information sources, PDF versions of journals and electronic versions of textbooks provided by the Central Library of the Faculty of Pharmacy).
GRADING SYSTEM AND TRANSCRIPT OF RECORDS ISSUED AT THE END OF STUDENT MOBILITY
Grading System:
Students of the Faculty of Pharmacy, regardless of whether they are regular students or mobility students, are assessed according to a grading scale consisting of 6 grading levels and have the same rights and obligations (must consistently meet the requirements of the interim assessment in order to progress to the final exam).
The percentage range in the table below for each grade is for guidance only.
The percentage assessment and the ECTS grade (local grade) awarded may vary from subject to subject, depending on the type of course (compare: A- Obligatory course, B – Obligatory elective course, C – Elective course) and the conditions set for successful completion of the subject.
Local Grade | Definition | Numerical Value | Percentage Value |
A | Excellent | 1 | 100-91 |
B | Very good | 1,5 | 90-81 |
C | Good | 2 | 80-73 |
D | Satisfactory | 2,5 | 72-66 |
E | Sufficient | 3 | 65-60 |
Fx | Failed | 4 | 59-0 |
TRANSCRIPT OF RECORDS:
This document is issued by the International Relations Office at the end of the student's mobility, according to the evaluation obtained for each course.
In order to facilitate the transformation of the evaluation for a partner university, each Transcript of Records includes: the local grade (A, B, C, etc.), the corresponding verbal explanation and the percentage evaluation (according to the conditions set for the successful completion of the subject).
All courses are completed with an exam, either in the form of an oral exam or a written test.
