Participation in research

When entering the ECTS credits for participation in researches, the students should write the following in their student's transcript:

Teacher's name: Deputy Head of Department's name
Course: Participation in research
Number of hours: under lectures 0; under seminars 0; under exercises 50

and visit the Deputy Head to have the achieved ECTS credits registered if you have acquired the necessary number of hours.

Save the forms with registered experimental hours as you will have to submit them before defending your thesis.

Participation in researches is awarded with the so called experimental hours. All students have to reach 50 experimental hours before graduating. They are awarded according to the following rules:

• Hours must be collected from at least 5 areas
• Number of the hours is prescribed by the researcher or the mentor of students that work on their Master's or Postgraduate theses.
• If the researchers are not members of the Department, the hours are awarded by the mentor who is a member of the Department and with whom the students can consult.
• Maximum number of hours a student can be awarded for a single research is 15.
• Participation in a research as interviewer or experimenter can provide a student with a maximum of 15 experimental hours as well.
• Exceptionally, the student can be given more experimental hours, but the mentor must explain such a request in advance at the meeting of the Department.
• Students interviewers and experimenters can be given a maximum of 75 hours per research (15 hours to 5 students).
• Experimental hours cannot be given for work on data entry
• The ratio of participation hours to experimental hours given is 1:1. Researches that need more intense participation or cause discomfort are exception in that the students can get more experimental hours than the actual participation, providing all the above mentioned rules were observed.
• Experimental hours are not given for filling questionnaires in classes which is shorter than 30 minutes.
