FAQs

  1. Will the 12 ECTS credits be part of the 60 ECTS credits of the course programme on which I am enrolled?
    No. The 12 ECTS credits are part of your allocation of extra study-units and will be over and above the programme allocation.

  2. What happens when I go on an Erasmus+ study period?
    Depending on when you go on Erasmus, an agreement will be reached on when to take the unit you will be missing. Please contact CELP’s secretary immediately once you are accepted to go on an Erasmus+ study period.

  3. What happens if I fail one of the study-units?
    Apart from the first sit following the completion of the study-unit, you are entitled to 3 resits.

  4. What happens if I miss a lecture because I am unwell?
    Attendance is compulsory; therefore, a medical certificate is required in order to justify your absence. This medical certificate should be presented to CELP’s secretary upon your return to university.

  5. Will I be expected to work out tasks outside the ECA classroom?
    No. All oral and written tasks will be worked out in class. The philosophy of the programme focuses on constant practice in the controlled and safe environment offered by the classroom. However, should you feel that you wish to extend the tasks beyond the ECA session, we will be happy to provide you with feedback.

  6. Where can I find the four ECA study-unit descriptions?
    Links to ELP1010ELP1020ELP2010 and ELP2020

  7. What if the ECA timetable slot clashes with one of the study-units from my course?
    Please contact CELP’s secretary and she will give you an alternate slot.

  8. I have placements/fieldwork/seminars as part of my course. What happens to the ECA sessions that I might have to miss?
    Please contact CELP’s secretary and the issue will be tackled on a case-by-case basis.
