TAKING SELECT COURSES
Within the good spirit of Academia, in addition to the organized educational tracks, the Academy offers the opportunity to take select study courses of interest out of the study courses on offer that Semester.
Depending on whether there is an intention to be evaluated and receive academic credit for the study course, select study courses can be taken either in an Attendee or Auditor status.
Attendee Status
Students wishing to submit assignments, and receive full Academic Credit after their successful completion can take select study courses as Attendees. An Attendee joins the study course as a full-time student - watching lesson recordings, doing mandatory readings, attending seminars, and completing all study course assessments. A certificate is issued after the successful completion of a study course upon demand, indicating the Academic Credit awarded that may afterward count towards a full degree of an equivalent or similar study course.
Taking a select study course as an Attendee is subject to availability and a study course fee of 50 EUR per 1 Academic Credit point (ECTS) of study course length. Students must also purchase the study materials required for the course they wish to take as Attendees.
​
Applications to the study program can be made through the common Online Application form.
Auditor Status
Students wishing only to attend seminars of a select study course, without commitment to watching lesson recordings, doing mandatory readings, or completing all study course assessments may do so as Auditors. An Auditor does not receive Academic Credit for completing a study course, and there is no provision to evaluate any submitted work (including the exam), although individual arrangements can be made with the lecturer.
Auditing a study course is subject to availability and a free-sum donation, which can be made at the bottom of the Home page.
Applications to the study program can be made through the common Online Application form.
