ECTS
The ECTS was implemented in order to make the cooperation between European universities easier, in regard to the full recognition of students’ achievements outside their mother university. The system is based on points and marks specifying the student workload required to get credits for given subjects. It also makes it possible to interpret the principles of higher education abroad. The PBS applies the ECTS at all courses.
The following grading system is used for exams and tests at PBS and how it refers to ECTS:
Local definition | Local grade | ECTS |
excellent | 5.0 | A |
very good | 4.5 | B |
good | 4.0 | C |
satisfactory | 3.5 | D |
sufficient | 3.0 | E |
unsatisfactory (fail) | 2.0 | F |
The ECTS have the following interpretation:
A – excellent – outstanding performance with only minor errors,
B – very good – above the average standard but with some mistakes,
C – good – generally sound work with a number of notable mistakes,
D – satisfactory – acceptable but with significant mistakes and lack of knowledge,
E – sufficient – work and results fulfil minimum criteria,
F – fail – credits can be awarded when the student takes the course again.
Receiving an unsatisfactory grade means failure to complete the course. All grades are recorded in undergraduates´transcripts, evaluation cards and reports.
Orientation Programme
The Students´ Orientation Programme is organized to welcome all new international students to the PBS and takes place usually at the beginning of winter and spring semester.
We encourage all new students to attend, as it´s a great way to find out more about the University, settle into the life in Poland and meet other new international students before starting their courses. The attendance at our International Students´ Orientation Programme is free of charge and includes many interesting events and information meetings.
Erasmus+ provides teaching opportunities for the teaching staff of higher education institutions and staff invited from enterprises. Training opportunities are also available for teaching and non-teaching staff employed in a higher education institution.
