In 2005/2006 Lodz Academy of International Studies introduces the European Credit Transfer System/ECTS/ in the Department of European Studies.The objective of the system is to calculate the amount of students work,that is time required to achieve all the marks in all obligatory and optional subjects and, at the same time,graduation from the university.Various forms of teaching are taken into account.They are: lectures,workshops,conversation classes,seminars,assignments and student placement.ECTS includes the activity of all students during the classes,their homeworks,work in the university library,creative placement and apprenticeship. In consideration of developed cooperation with foreign countries ECTS is to enable the students to travel abroad and visit various universities in Poland . During bachelor degree studies lasting three years the students are obliged to collect 180 points.Master-degree studies lasting five years require the total number of 300 points.Two-stage study system 3+2 introduced in WSSM necessitates adequately 180 +120 ECTS to graduation.In order to graduate from extramural bachelor degree studies a student needs 120 points.In case of master-degree studies the number of points adds up to 200(120 + 80) ECTS.The amount of work done by extramural students equals to two third of time of work required from daily students. The other teaching matters may be presented in the following order:

• ECTS for the Department of European Studies was introduced in part II.

• The courses end by the exam or the graded assignment.

• The students discuss their syllabus at a partner university on the basis of Learning Agreement,which specifies the subjects and time of students stay at a partner university.

• To credit the exchange students or the transnational exchange ones with a course - one expects the number of 30/60 points.In case of the smaller number of points or significant programme differences the students have to make up for the courses at their own universities to achieve the required number of points.The students will get an assignment if they deliver the Transcript of Records.

• More detailed information can be found in the Regulations of Sokrates/Erasmus on WSSM internet page: regulations.

• The students are not charged for anything by the host university.

• The students are required to pay tuition fees at their home university (see University Regulations)

• During the stay at partner university the students may benefit from social or scientific grants.

• The period of students residence at the partner university lasts from three months to one academic year.

ECTS defines the principles of studying in Poland and abroad by means of precise requirements of assignments and offers the possibility of comparing the curricula.
