The ECTS sheets include the concrete curriculum and the final objectives of each study programme at Artevelde UAS. You can consult the ECTS sheets here.

Your study progress is monitored through the study credits. After all, the time available and the opportunities you get to obtain your diploma are limited by the government.

The study credits can be compared to a backpack filled with 140 credits. When enrolling, you take the credits for which you are enrolling out of your backpack. At the end of the academic year you will be returned your credits. For the first 60 credits earned in higher education, you will be returned double the amount of study credits.

If you want to study next year, you must have a positive study credit (minimum 60 credits). You can check the state of your credits on the website www.studentenportaal.be of the Flemish Government at any time. In the event of insufficient study credits, your enrolment programme will be limited to the available study credits. It is best to contact the Study Track Manager of your programme before drawing up your enrolment programme.

The study credits only apply for Bachelor programmes
