Courses are listed with a course title and a course code. The course code refers to the part of the College program to which a course belongs and to the level of the course. Every course counts for 5 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), except Skills, that are 2.5 ECTS each and the UCM Capstone which represents 10 ECTS. A full study load consists of 30 ECTS per semester and 60 ECTS per academic year. Course code abbreviations The course code consists of three letters and a four digit number. These are the three letter abbreviations: COR Academic Core HUM Humanities SCI Sciences SSC Social Sciences SKI Skills PRO Project CAP Capstone UGR UCM Undergraduate Research / PEERS The first digits of the four digit number in the course code indicate the level of a course: 1 = 100-level introductory courses (open to all students) 2 = 200-level intermediate courses (may have prerequisites) 3 = 300-level advanced courses (do have prerequisites) The four digit number of the course code refers to the course number. UCM Undergraduate Research / PEERS (UGR) and The Documentary Please note that UCM Undergraduate Research / PEERS and The Documentary are only open to students that have been accepted in the PEERS program. Prerequisites and recommendations A number of course descriptions include prerequisites or recommendations. Note that prerequisites are required courses: you must have passed these courses in order to be allowed to join a course. Courses that are recommended are not mandatory. They are suggested by the coordinator and may add to your performance in the course. For several 200-level courses within the Sciences, it is possible to request a waiver for the prerequisite 1000- level course if you have already taken relevant courses during your previous education. On the next page you will find an indicative checklist for the topics that you should have covered in order to receive such a waiver. v Checklists for secondary school mathematics and sciences The checklists below summarize the topics expected to be covered at secondary school for those requesting waivers for several 200-level science courses: Mathematics (SCI-M), Physics (SCI-P), Chemistry (SCI-C), Biology (SCI-B), SCI- M.
