The student must have passed an exam in the courses for which an equivalency credit is sought.
A student who obtains equivalencies must acquire at least 120 ECTS credits for a Bachelor degree and 60 ECTS credits for a Master degree in the School of Biology curriculum to obtain the corresponding degree awarded by the Faculty.
