Thesis, Dissertation and Project WorkIf you wish to work on your thesis, dissertation or project, we recommend you to do some research and get in touch with your future tutor. Current projects at BOKU can be found at http://www.boku.ac.at/research. There, you also might find a tutor for your thesis or dissertation. Also the Homepages of the institutes might help. A link list can be found at http://www.boku.ac.at/201.html German Language ProficiencyAs courses are held almost exclusively in German, you should be sufficiently proficient in German in order to follow them without much problem. However, some courses are also offered in English. Courses in “Deutsch als Fremdsprache“ (German as a Foreign Language) are available free of charge at the Centre for International Relations. Besides the improvement of your language skills, the courses also try to widen your social and intercultural skills. Before the beginning of the semester a German Intensive Language Course is offered for exchange students (see next page). We strongly recommend the attendance at German courses. The following courses are offered:
German Intensive Language CourseTo get accustomed to the language, the ZIB offers a German Intensive Language Course for exchange students. The course runs for two weeks, both in the winter semester and in the summer semester (http://www.boku.ac.at/4013.html) and costs € 235 for 25 hours per week. Registration for the Intensive Language Course takes place in the ZIB with Maurely Velázquez de Schermaier. There is no deadline, but the number of participants is limited. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Other German Courses ViennaIf you want to improve your German knowledge beyond the course offered at BOKU, here is a list of Institutions that offer German courses:
Departmental CoordinatorsIn case you have any questions concerning courses, projects, theses or dissertations you can also turn to your departmental coordinator. He/she will be able to support you academically.
Partner universities and Fields of StudyEach and every departmental coordinator looks after a couple of partner universities. On our homepage at http://www.boku.ac.at/2772.html you have the possibility (at least in the German version) to find your personal departmental coordinator. If no coordinator is allocated toyour university please get in touch with the ZIB (erasmus@boku.ac.at). ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)ECTS was developed by the European Commission as a means of facilitating academic recognition and the transfer of credits from one university institution to another using a common basis of measurement. ECTS provides a means of building bridges between institutions and to widen the choices available to students. The system makes it easier for institutions to recognise the learning achievements of students through the use of commonly understood system – credits and grades. It also provides a means to interpret between national systems of higher education. The ECTS system is based on three core elements: information (on study programmes and student achievement), mutual agreement (between the partner institutions and the student) and the use of ECTS credits (to indicate student workload). Full academic recognition is a basic requirement for student mobility within the Erasmus and Socrates Programmes. Full academic recognition means that the study period abroad (including examinations or other forms of assessment) replaces a comparable period of study at the home university (including examinations or other forms of assessment), though the content of the agreed study programme may differ. In ECTS, 60 credits represent the workload of an academic year of study, normally 30 credits for a semester and 20 credits for one term. Until recently in Austrian higher education, course units have been traditionally measured in semester hours per week but now it’s also measured in ECTS credits. The number of ECTS credits for each course is indicated in the online course catalogue of BOKU (http://blis.ud.boku.ac.at/index.html). Students receive ECTS upon the successful completion of a course. Credits are transferred from one university to another on the basis of a prior learning agreement between the student and the universities involved. Course information (course content, prerequisites, assessment etc.) is available in the online course catalogue. After students have completed their studies at BOKU, they will receive a transcript of records which lists all courses completed and the grade according to the Austrian and ECTS scheme. This will provide your home institution with the information necessary to transfer courses. ECTS Grading Scale The ECTS grading scale is based on the following definitions.
* Percentage of successful students normally achieving the grade
