Credit Points (ECTS points) are assigned two times a year, at the end of each semester and before the presentations. Each credit point represents 28 hours of ‘study load’. Students (both Bachelors and Masters) should earn a total of 60 credit points per year. Part of the courses are obligatory, other courses can be chosen regarding certain rules and besides that there are a number of credit points for elective courses or alternative study related activities (this is called the individual study trajectory (IST) or portfolio).
Credit points for participation in courses, labs, research projects, KABK introductory courses, Media Technology courses and other KABK and KC courses are assigned on the basis of the evaluations given by the teachers of those courses.
The credit points for the individual study trajectory are assigned on the basis of written reports or other forms of project documentation. The student is expected to compile a portfolio containing the documentation of individual projects and documentation of the activities in research projects, labs and other courses.
The points for extracurricular activities are assigned during the evaluation of the portfolio at the end of May.
