UBIS has designed its course of studies according to both US standards and the European standards as laid out in the Bologna Accord of 1999. This facilitates transferability of credit both in US and in Europe.

UBIS uses a double credit system where each course is assigned two types  of credits:

U-credits (following US criteria) and

E-credits (following ECTS criteria).

Each one-term thirty-hour course at UBIS represents 3 U-credits and approximately 4 E-credits, depending on the actual workload described in the course syllabus.

Averages, GPAs and ranking are based on the U-credits, while the E-credits are issued to facilitate credit transferability within Europe.

For each course: 3 hours/week + appropriate amount of homework and other assignments;

Monday through Thursday: 18:00-21:00

Graduate students can only begin their studies at the beginning of a module.
