The students are also requested to prepare a written report (minimum 10,000 - maximum 15,000 characters, including spaces) to be submitted to the professor in charge of the initiative;

- Award of credits for Additional Language Skills through proficiency assessment in a second language (French, Spanish or German), excluding the compulsory 3 ECTS credits for the English Language Proficiency Assessment (B1 level) already included in the degree programme regulations.
- For students enrolled up to and including the 2019/20 academic year, award of the 3 ECTS credits for the Computer Science Course, already included among the additional educational activities for students enrolled from the 2020/21 academic year onwards.
- Participation in other workshop-based activities offered by the University for which the Academic Board has approved credit recognition.
The list of activities eligible for credit recognition, all of which fall within the categories described above, is set out below.
