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

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. 

BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT COURSES

TYPE OF COURSES AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EACH TYPE:

Obligatory courses

When choosing obligatory courses, check the recommendations on required previous knowledge leading to successful completion of the course. 

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In case of luck of places on the OBLIGAGORY COURSES, regular international students of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Erasmus+ students (accepted on the basis of a bilateral agreement in accordance with the Erasmus+ programme rules) are given priority.

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 you 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).

1) In case of OBLIGATORY ELECTIVE / ELECTIVE COURSES, it 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.

2) In case of luck of places on the OBLIGAGORY ELECTIVE / ELECTIVE COURSES, regular international students of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Erasmus+ students (accepted on the basis of a bilateral agreement in accordance with the Erasmus+ programme rules) are given priority.

Please note that approving the list of subjects is not an automatic guarantee that the student will be able to complete the given subject (collision with other course, lack of places etc.).

INFORMATION ON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE COURSE BY THE ERASMUS+ STUDENT:

In order to obtain the final grade and to pass the course successfully, all exchange students must meet the same conditions as regular students of the Faculty of Pharmacy.
