3 GENERAL INFORMATION Academic unit Type Level of qualification Qualification awarded Mode of study Admission requirements and recognition of prior learning Qualification requirements Access to graduate studies Examination regulations, assessment and grading Bachelor programmes Coimbra College of Agriculture (ESAC-IPC) Undergraduate Major Program Level 6. First Cycle (Bachelor s Degree) Program. The students who successfully complete the program are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Full-Time. 30 ECTS/semester during 3 years To enrol in ESAC-IPC undergraduate degree programmes, foreign European Union citizens may apply: (a) Through a national contest; (b) Students already enrolled in a foreign Higher Education Institution may ask for transfer during an annual application period, with recognition of prior learning. Non EU citizens who wish to enrol in ESAC-IPC undergraduate degree programmes must apply via the annual application for International Students, using one of the following: (a) Those with a qualification giving access to Higher Education, meaning any diploma or certificate issued by a competent authority in the country in which it was awarded can apply directly to the desired bachelor degree; (b) Those or a Diploma of Portuguese secondary school or equivalent degree must apply for the specific ESAC-IPC bachelor degree exams ( More information on how to apply for the Portuguese first-cycle bachelor programmes: Study in Portugal website. The undergraduate students in a program must be successful in all the courses with a minimum achievement grade of 10, including their compulsory traineeship, and must have completed at least 180 ECTS credits. The graduates of this program can apply to master programs to enhance their academic skills and career. Assessment of success Assessment of success in a course may be carried out by a) continuous evaluation or b) exam. The students which do not achieve success during continuous evaluation are admitted to the exam if their presence in classes is 75%. Achievement grade Grades are given in an absolute system scoring 0 to 20. Scores 0 to 9 indicate that the student was unsuccessful in a course (fail). Scores 10 to 20 indicate that the student was successful in a course (pass). Continuous evaluation, final, resit and graduation exams (1) All courses contemplate continuous evaluation, which may be carried out in different ways specified in the respective Course Datasheet. a) Assessment by modules: each module is given a percentage contribution to the final grade. The student passes only if the grade for each module is 7.5 and the final grade of the course is 9.5. The failed module(s) may be assessed in the final and/or resit exams or the student may choose to assess the whole subject of the course; b) When the course is not divided in modules, the student passes if the final grade of the course is 9.5. The contribution of each evaluation item for the final grade is specified in the Course Datasheet. The complete subject of a failed course must be assessed in the final and/or resit exams. (2) Final exams:may assess one or more course modules or the whole course. (3) Resit exams: are the final opportunity for a student to pass a course in a given academic year and are subject to prior registration and fee payment at the Academic Services. The resit exams may assess one or more course modules or the whole course. (4) Graduation exams: available to finalist students with, at the most, three failed courses to fulfil the bachelor program requirements. Academic calendar Fall semester: mid-september to mid-february Spring semester: mid-february to mid-july. A semester has typically a duration of 15 class weeks Erasmus+ nominations Fall semester: 15th July Spring semester: 30th December Type of classes L=Lecture; LP=Lecture-Practical; Lab=Laboratory; TG=Tutorial guidance.
