In addition to this, students shall be asked to issue a Recognition Sheet, which refers to the equivalent of foreign courses in DU, so that the credit transfer is planned and approved.
At the end of the exchange term, the courses studied abroad are recorded and demonstrated in the transcript, together with the original course codes and names and ECTS credits. Pursuant to ERASMUS Programme and Collaboration Agreements concluded thereunto, official transcripts will quote, an abbreviation signal of ET, European Transfer, for the courses studied abroad.
The programme is to provide the students the fundamental background on plant protection challenges in cultivation and reach the sufficient knowledge, evaluation and application to solve those challenges. The students learn to scan some literature,make research, evaluate and analyzed the results, prepare a thesis. The purpose of the programme is to have qualified workforce meeting the demands and wishes of public and private companies active in plant protection field and scientific development academically proficient students.
