| Academic Program | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In order to earn 6 credits at Purdue, students can enroll in one 10 ECTS credit course or two 5 ECTS credit courses. Click here for course details. TIP: Examine the 10-ECTS courses first. Then, determine which of these are Bachelor's courses. Make your choices based on which ones interest you and in which term the courses are offered. Students can only take one course at any one time. The Aarhus summer courses are intensive and can take up almost the entire day. It would not be possible to fit two classes in one day. Thus, if taking two 5-ECTS courses, they must be taken sequentially, the first during Term 1, the other during Term 2. |
