D. Additional requirements

1. Aristotle University of Thessaloniki:

Courses at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are normally taught in Greek. However, there are courses in other languages too, especially at the Foreign Language Faculties, Faculty of Law (courses in English, French and German language), School of Journalism & Mass Communication, and School of Economics. In all other cases, there are special arrangements for LLP/Erasmus students, such as assignment of essays in English with the use of English bibliography in small groups of students.

Information concerning courses and other academic matters can be obtained at the web site of the University http://www.auth.gr/en/faculties

Greek Language courses for Erasmus+ students

There are courses organized specifically for Erasmus+ students with the support of the EU at the beginning of each semester: in October and in March (beginners’ level). Moreover there are on-line courses at the beginning of each semester.

You can find more information at the School of Modern Greek Language of AUTh: http://smg.web.auth.gr/wordpress/?lang=en

Information on the website: http://ec.europa.eu/education/erasmus/doc902_en.htm

Students with disabilities

Social and Health Policy Committee of AUTH was established in 1997 with the aim to facilitate students with disabilities. Services have been developed and updated according to European and International standards. There are several fields that Social and Health Policy Committee is getting involved, always aiming to make student life easier so that all students can focus on their academic demands.

Services available

Students with visual impairment

- Converting books or notes in any file the student is using to study (text to speech, print them in Braille etc)

Students with hearing disabilities

- Interpretation in Greek Sign language everywhere in the campus of our University during working hours.

Students with mobility disabilities

- We provide transportation to students with mobility disabilities from their residences to the campus and vice versa in an everyday basis.

Services to all students

- blood donation days

- connect students with other institutions so that they will be given the professional care they need depending on their issue.

Social and Health Policy Committee is always personalizing its services adjusting them to the needs and wills of every single student.

2. Linköpings universitet

If you are selected for an exchange, make sure that you have sufficient knowledge of English, both written and oral, to take part in the courses that are taught in English. See information on your faculty's application form of what documentation is needed.http://www.liu.se/utbildning/exchange-students/application-and-preparations?l=en 

Courses are intended for exchange students who have completed at least one year of studies at their home university. Please note that exchange students cannot normally combine courses and study opportunities to obtain a final degree at Linköping University.

When cooperation agreements are made by subject area, department or faculty, learning agreements can only be made within the faculty concerned.

To search for courses, please choose the faculty with which your home university has signed an agreement.

The academic year consists of two semesters. The autumn semester usually runs from the middle or end of August to mid-January and the spring semester from mid-January to the beginning or middle of June. There is usually a break of one or two weeks during Christmas. Other study breaks, e.g. during Easter, vary depending on the course/ programme.

Credits and grading

One semester of full-time studies equals 30 credits and one academic year equals 60 credits. Grades are translated into the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) when awarded.  As teaching stresses personal responsibility and individual performance, the grades received reflect not only the final examination score but also participation in the course. Linköping University uses four grading systems, depending on the course/programme http://www.liu.se/utbildning/exchange-students/study-information?l=en
