The courses you choose can be from one whole semester or a mix of courses from several semesters If you are an MSc student it sometimes can be a good idea to choose courses that will match an entire specialization of 22.5 ECTS and another course on 7.5 ECTS.

Credit Transfer Rules

slide-29
SLIDE 29

If the course(s) you are seeking preapproval for is/are NOT ECTS-based, you are obligated to find the correct documentation for the number of credits/points/units which covers a full time semester at the foreign university. Use this formula: (University X requires 120 credits to obtain a bachelor degree. The bachelor degree takes 4 years to complete (8 semesters). Hence, 120 credits is divided by 8 semesters, which is equal to 15 credits pr. semester. )
