9.2.9. Additional courses

Additional courses, which are courses that students choose in order to achieve more than the number of credit points required to fulfil the MSc degree requirements, can be included in the study plan for a maximum of three courses and they can be chosen from:

  • Graduate level educational activities:
    • electives of Msc Programs;
    • foreign languages;
    • in-depth studies (only for students enrolled in DES/ESS two in-depth studies are equal to an elective course).
  • higher level courses (PhD). For detailed information on the procedures for including such courses see paragraph 9.2.8.


Graduate level educational activities can be included in the study plan only after the course exams of the first 2 MSc semesters have been passed.

Please notice that

  • allocation of elective courses entered as additional exams is subject to the limit of places available;
  • allocation of elective courses entered as additional exams, if available, is made after the allocation of the elective courses included in the student’s academic career as choice/change of study plan, i.e. after September for electives of the first semester, after 20 January for second semester ones and it is depending on the places’ availability.


Additional courses are included in the calculation of the Grade Point Average; if students have taken more than 2, the best 2 marks are considered (if grades are the same ones those additional courses with more credit points are considered).

Students can choose additional courses by completing the form that can be collected from the Academic Affairs Division Desk during the29 July 2015 - 19 January 2016 period.

Additional courses can be cancelled by handing in an application to the Academic Affairs Division Desk. An activity recorded with a passing mark cannot be eliminated.
