We can offer you an individual path of study using materials and the helpful assistance of our English speaking teachers and students. Also, it is our custom that Erasmus students are allowed to take any course (from any level and any faculty) as long as it is accepted by the faculty coordinator in home university. We have introduced limits of ECTS from incoming students. The minimum number of ECTS to be accepted to AWF is 25 (apart from Winter camp), the maximum is 35 in a semester.

Courses will be opened according to the demand of students, but if the minimum number of students registered to a course is lower than 5, the course will not be opened.
