  3. Credit transfer • Learning agreement (study plan/course request list) • Contract between the student, the home university and the host university • Credits will count towards the student’s degree at the home university

  4. Learning agreement • In Europe introduced by the Erasmus-programme • Europe before the Bologna process: wide differences, but the aim was to exchange students despite the differences in the systems • The Bologna process is about dialogue, “wiping out confusions” (Guy Haug)

  5. ECTS • European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System • a tool for facilitating the recognition of the courses for exchange students when returning to their home institution • not based on contact hours, but efforts. The number of hours a student would need to reach the set objectives of a course

  6. the aim within ISEP is also to exchange students despite the differences in academic systems • to have an open dialogue, and to try to understand each other’s systems
