Curriculum

“-Double Degree” students are required to meet both the requirements of their home school and visiting school
“-Exchange” students are required to earn 9 credits from the visiting school

The number of credits that participating students actually need in order to complete the CAMPUS Asia Plus program varies depending on whether they opt for “Double Degree (DD)” or “Exchange (EX).” For students on the DD track, it is necessary for GraSPP students to meet the requirements of both GraSPP and the other school where the students wish to earn their second degree. Credit transfer between universities or only credits can be granted through the credit transfer system, allowing students to earn two degrees during their working period. Students on the EX track just need to meet the requirements of their home school, including the required credits from the visiting schools.

Credit Transfer System

Students can apply for credit transfer into either a) simply the number of credits earned or b) equivalent courses to those offered at GraSPP for courses taken at their destination university. However, GraSPP reserves the right to assess and approve for the credit transfers depending on the course content, duration and modular credits etc., and not all credits would be approved for credit transfers. Therefore, students are encouraged to build their own study plan carefully, and as soon as you have decided on the courses to take, check with GraSPP to make sure that those courses meet your graduation requirements through the prior credit accreditation system.
