How does the program work?

The volunteer program is worth an additional subject, which is to say the student receives ECTS credits while doing the volunteer work in an organization

To obtain the credits, the students must commit to realizing a minimal number of hours in the chosen organization. In the case in which the student does not fulfill all the requirements (number of hours and submission of the final report), the student shall not receive the credits. Students have the option of increasing their hours of social service in accordance with the free time each has and in accordance with the needs of each organization, without this influencing the credits.

Two different options are proposed:

• 3 Academic Credits (4 months/160 hours) + report on activities
• 2 Academic Credits (4 months/120 hours) + report on activities
• Half time / Half of the credits of the academic load: 320 hours during 4 months + submitting a written project on the volunteer work. The half-time volunteer work by the students who wish to have more in-depth involvement with the organization or who wish to commit more to the same during a semester. This form of volunteer work requires a greater dedication than the other forms. With the half-time volunteer program, the student shall obtain half the credits of their semester academic load. The other credits must be adjusted depending of the course offerings of the Faculty for that particular semester.
