Conditions for advancement to the 2nd year

A student advances to the 2nd year if they have earned at least 40 ECTS from passed exams.

Repeating a year

A student who has not met the conditions for advancement may repeat the year if they have earned at least 30 ECTS from passed exams of the year they wish to repeat. If a student has not earned 30 ECTS for justified reasons, the study affairs committee may exceptionally approve repeating the year. Due to failure to meet obligations, a student may only repeat one year once during the entire study period. 

Extension of status

A student's status may be extended for up to one year,  if for justified reasons they do not enroll in a higher year in accordance with the acts of Alma Mater Europaea University.

Provisions on transfers between programs

Transfers between programs are possible within second-cycle programs at Alma Mater Europaea University and other faculties in accordance with the Higher Education Act (applicable to programs accepted under the 2004 HEA), Criteria for transfers between study programs, and other regulations. Students enrolled before the introduction of new study programs for obtaining a qualification, who have the right to repeat and due to the gradual introduction of new study programs cannot repeat the year in the program they enrolled in, transfer to the new program under the same conditions as students of new programs.

When transferring from other study programs to the master's second-cycle program European Business Studies, the candidate must submit a certified certificate of completed study obligations at the higher education institution where they were enrolled, as well as an official transcript of confirmed and valid curricula for subjects and other contents in which they completed study obligations from equivalent or related programs. If the curricula (subjects and other contents of the study program) from the candidate's previous studies do not adequately cover the contents of the master's study program, the Study Affairs Committee may determine the missing obligations that candidates must complete if they wish to graduate in the new program.

Transfers from higher vocational programs conducted before 1994 and from higher education programs under the Vocational and Professional Education Act are not possible.
