Credit Students TILVALGSSTUDERENDE
from the Faculty of Humanities
TILVALG in African Studies (BA and KA students)
African Studies provides TILVALGSSTUDERENDE from the Faculty of Humanities an opportunity to gain insight into Africa's social, developmental, cultural and religious conditions, and also offers the opportunity to learn the African language Kiswahili. The programme is in English and the study environment is international. TILVALGSSTUDERENDE are eligible to apply for courses at Centre of African Studies after having passed 2 years of exams (120 ECTS) at their faculty.
As TILVALGSSTUDERENDE you can choose from the Centre of African Studies' range of optional courses, as well as Kiswahili and summer courses - but you cannot sign up for compulsory courses or internship and fieldwork. All optional courses correspond to 10 or 15 ETCS, and you choose yourself if you sign up for the course and exam corresponding to 10 or 15 ECTS. Kiswahili, which lasts two semesters, corresponds to 15 ECTS. Our summer courses are held in July or August for three or four weeks and correspond to 10 ECTS.
Courses
