Further Information 

 

Doctoral programs calculate credit points based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation.
Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points.
For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units.
Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops.
For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops x 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits.
