A welcome from the Vice Dean

Welcome to all students who enrolled in our undergraduate management programme, which is also
held in English, or students who enrolled in our Erasmus classes in the 2016/2017 academic year.
You all come to us from very interesting backgrounds. My colleagues and I are looking forward to
working with you and getting to know you in the years ahead. We want to give you our best support in
your studies, but we are also here to support and encourage you in your personal growth.
We expect you to work hard, to take your studies seriously and to develop your skills and
competences so that you can manage organisations, motivate and inspire people, solve problems in
our society and fight for what you stand for. In order to do that, you need to do your best when you are
with us. You are expected to attend all classes, complete all assignments and do enough studying
alone. I also encourage you to work closely with your lecturers, who have a thorough knowledge of
their fields and will assist you and motivate you to attain high levels of achievement and success.
This booklet contains important information about the programme content, as well as the rules and
regulations that will govern your progress through the system. You are encouraged to read it carefully
in full.
In closing, I want to emphasise that I am here for you all.
You can come to my office at any time, but you can also consult
me when we meet in the hallway, in the café or elsewhere?
Also, I am only an email away.

I wish you the greatest success in the 2016/17 academic year.

Tutoring system
UP FM has a tutoring system which is intended for
students studying in the 1st and 2nd cycle study
programmes. It is a partnership between tutor and
student intended to improve the study process and
students’ success. First- year students will be
appointed a student tutor and a teacher tutor at the
beginning of the academic year who will help them with
their studies, especially with resolving current study
problems (choosing courses, direction to appropriate
services, familiarisation with rules, regulations and
operations of UP FM).

Coping with culture shock

You will experience a range of emotions during your
studies. Keep in mind that a certain degree of
disorientation is a normal part of adjusting to a new
culture. While it may be disconcerting, culture shock
can be a growth process that increases your
understanding of your host culture and yourself.
Prepare yourself for the differences: the more you
know about what to expect, the more comfortable you
will be. The best way to cope is to make friends and
share feelings with other foreign students. Get involved
in enjoyable activities and try to meet and engage with
people, participate in sport, cultural events etc.

Appeals My courses
Disciplinary procedures
You can access the course syllabus by clicking on the
name of the course. A syllabus delivery plan of the
course is published in the e-classroom for each course
and presented in detail by the teacher at the beginning
of each course. Courses have different coursework,
depending on the syllabus; some are mandatory and
some can be optional. Course work may involve
essays, reports, seminar papers, participation in class,
short tests, and group work which can be assessed
during the course. When students have completed all
the coursework and a final examination they receive a
final overall grade which is registered in their electronic
index in the SIS. All final grades are displayed in your
electronic index and can also be printed out. Only
passing grades are displayed in your official transcript
of records issued by the Student Affairs Office.

Each course is evaluated with the European Credit
Transfer System (ECTS); undergraduate courses
usually have 6 ECTS, and most post-graduate courses
have 9 ECTS. ECTS is the unit of measurement for
evaluating the study time necessary for average
students to master a course and successfully complete
study activities and obligations. We estimate that the
average student workload for an average grade of very
good (8) is from 25 to 30 hours for 1 ECTS. The overall
student workload includes class attendance, study of
literature, preparation of group and individual tasks,
preparation for examinations, written essays etc. One
study year consists of 60 ECTS, which in relation to
the total amount of work in an academic year that is
estimated at approx. 1,500 to 1,800 hours of student
workload. Credits are awarded only when the course
has been completed and all required obligations have
been passed.
