NOTES:                 
·  Each academic year consists of three trimesters: Autumn, Winter and Spring. Examination weeks
  follow each of the trimesters. 
·  The contact hours in each trimester of the full-time (part-time, respectively) students are within 
  10 weeks (3 weeks, respectively).
·  All subjects entered in the Cirriculum are obligatory.
·  The elective courses can be practicums and seminars, too. They are elected by the students from
  a list endorsed by the Faculty Board. Besides them, facultative courses or practicums are offered
  each trimester.
·  If a student has taken exams on extra subjects, they are entered in the Diploma.
  The subjects, which are not included in the Cirriculum of the corresponding speciality, can be 
  recognized as elective courses, if they conclude with exams in other specialities of our Faculty or
  another one. 
·  The tuition finishes with a written state exam or a defence of a thesis paper.
·  The evaluation of a given subject is done at an exam within the examinational session following 
  each trimester or by continuous assessment within the trimester. 
·  Credits for Sport are obtained if the student has a grade. Otherwise, the omitted credits are obtained from 
  facultative or extra elective courses.
·  1 ECTS credit = 25 hours of student workload = 33⅓ 45-minute academic hours of workload
