Free-choice credits

The aim of free-choice credits is to give students the opportunity to receive multi-disciplinary training, rather than just their own syllabus. Because these credits are free-choice, they can include modules that do not fit in to a syllabus either because they are new subjects or because they are too specific.

External institutions can also propose other activities that may be recognised by free-choice credits.

The UAB also awards free-choice credits to elite athletes who study UAB courses from home. This does not depend on their achieving good results in competition.

Type of modules

You may choose your free-choice credits from:

  • UAB modules (optional modules from your course; core, compulsory and optional modules from another UAB course; university modules provided by the UAB and approved by the Academic Planning Committee);
  • modules from other official courses organised either by the UAB or by other universities;
  • modules from a non-official course at the UAB or from Minors;
  • modules you have passed under an old syllabus that have no equivalent among the modules in the new syllabus you are taking;
  • if you have transferred your student record from another university: modules you passed in your previous university that have no equivalent among the modules in your syllabus at the UAB, or free-choice credits you passed in your previous university;
  • modules you have passed in official courses at another university as part of an exchange programme with no equivalent in your syllabus.
