If you have any doubts, about recognition for instance, please ask the Academic Coordinator for your faculty. This is the person responsible for assessing you academically and the only person who will be able to approve the choice of subjects.
WARNING!
- No subject that has not previously been approved by the Coordinator will be recognised as equivalent.
- Students who have been granted an Erasmus+ mobility place: save a PDF copy of the Relint 3.0 L.A. and send it to the target university to request their signature and seal before starting your mobility programme. The target university should return it by e-mail. You will find more information about the documentation you need to complete before, during and after your mobility programme in the "Chart of international mobility tasks (outgoing students"."
