AMEU - ECM adopted the Rules on the examination and assessment of knowledge at the Management Board on 15 April 2010 and the amendments on 16 August 2013. The policy is published on the intranet page, which is accessible to students and teachers with a personal username and password. The method of assessment in an individual subject is also included in the curricula.

Students are introduced to the criteria at the beginning of the academic year. Information is also constantly available in the Office for Academic Affairs. Students' knowledge is assessed through the ECTS grading scale and in accordance with the curriculum. The conditions for advancement are published on the AMEU - ECM website and are in accordance with the accredited study programme.

The obligations of students in an individual subject are defined in the curricula and evaluated in ECTS, where 1 ECTS represents 30 hours of student work.

Progression to a higher year:

  • students can progress to the second year upon successful completion of both compulsory courses.
  • To progress to the third year, students must pass 2 out of 3 elective courses and issue and obtain approval for the topic of the doctoral thesis.

In order to complete the study, it is necessary to complete all study obligations provided for in the study programme and subject curricula, and to prepare and defend a doctoral thesis. This collects 180 credits from the student.
